Indeed, they could not only have taken her IN, they also have taken her and the kids OUT of there, forcibly if necessary. If I knew my daughter or sister was sick and knew her husband would not get a second doctor's opinion and then a THIRD, I'd be taking her to these doctors myself over his protests, even over HER protests. There's a time for politeness and there's a time to interfere. It's easy to point fingers at the son-in-law/brother-in-law now, but I wish they'd done more on their OWN.
