Denial is amazing.

If there was adequate functioning intensive care for premies in Canada, the quadruplets would not have been sent to the US.

Case closed!

No case not closed maybe the nearest unit was the US for their particular problems or maybe their doctor had a preference.

We have patients in the UK from all over the world because they want a particular treatment or doctor not available in their country.

It does not necessarily mean it is not available in their country but not the treatment they want or can afford.

Also before you say it yes Brits also travel elsewhere for treatment because as yet it may not have been approved in Britain or they are taking part in research medicine.

Also sometimes if they want something quicker than on the NHS and cannot afford to pay private in Britain they may go somewhere else in the world where it is cheaper. Often have the op travel back and then get back into the NHS sytem for aftercare, called using the system.
