And they forcibly --- and I mean --- prevented his parents from transporting him out of the country to get better care, although it wouldn't have cost the NHS or the government a single Euro, and they had already arranged for a medical air transport and an accompanying physician who was one of the top pediatricians in Italy.
In NHS, you belong to the government, body and soul.
They own you.
That's the bottom line.
They wouldn’t even let Alfie’s parents take him out of the country to try to get help!!!!!
That was evil.
Alfie’s brain was a mass of tissue capable only of experiencing pain and seizures. The hospital fought to end his life not bc they didn’t want him treated elsewhere - it would have been cheaper for the hospital if had gone to die in Italy - but bc the kids life was constant torture.
If I ever end up in such a condition I hope a doctor would intervene the same way if a relative insisted on keeping me alive to experience only paid.
