Discussion for article #241598
There’s no phone, no lights, no motorcar
Not a single luxury
Like Robinson Crusoe
It’s as primitive as can be

The article does not say what the girl is up against but others say leukemia. Many forms of that are chronic and require long term or life long treatment in order for the patient to live. Assessing the success of treatment by the outward appearance of the girl is reckless and irresponsible. Her prognosis is the job of an oncologist, not a damn Judge and certainly not a nurse. She will relapse and usually that is harder to treat then maintaining remission.
Parents, Judge and the lot are killing this girl.
This is so sad for all involved. I would hate to have to be a judge making this impossible call. That much the worse for the girl and her parents, who are doing their best, but may not have all of the information they need to make a wise decision.
Fine, you’re right, she ‘needs’ oncology ‘more’ than court supervision.But it’s just as obvious that merely ‘being’ an oncologist doesn’t bring with any legally enforceable authority in relation to this girl’s health decisions.
