For a child to die is sad beyond measure, but did it occur to the parents that instead of trying to drag the bureaucratic behemoth into making the medicine they wanted legal, they could have just moved to a different state where it already WAS legal?
I was wondering the same thing. Over the last few years, my daughter has had various health issues, and we’ve gone pretty far afield trying to get answers. Most recently, we went to Cleveland, OH, where a Dr. Milstein restored her voice. She lost it 3 years ago, and went through therapy and extensive testing, only to be told it was “stress-induced” and sent to a psychologist. Psychologist said, no, not stress induced. Within ONE HOUR, Dr. Milstein had her singing and talking again.
Were it my kid, and were that treatment available elsewhere, and had it proven effective, I'd have found a way to get there.
