Nothing in the story indicates drug use.If that was the issue the hospital's statement would have said something like "medical issues that have come to light make this procedure unwise at this time".
And as for the "do gooder socialists" you refer to I assume that includes me.And to that I say "ten bucks says that you don't have the first clue what hospitals are about or about the relationship that many hospitals have with prisons/prisoners/parolees".
I was giving an example of BAD parenting. The guy could be a drug addict, a thug, a criminal, or all of the above. Does not matter. He could have helped his child. He could not. The blame is ENTIRELY on him, not the hospital or the doctors. My point.
How they all wish socialist tyranny upon the world when it suits their fweeelings. Triggered!
