ANOTHER Baby Charlie? The MVNHS© Strikes Again

Regular readers may recall the tragic story of Baby Charlie:

"The parents of terminally-ill baby Charlie Gard are 'utterly distraught' and facing fresh heartbreak after losing their final appeal in the European Court of Human Rights."

Well, turns out the caring, compassionate Angels of the Death Mercy at the Much Vaunted National Health Service© apparently haven't met their quota:

"Ader Hey Children’s Hospital has applied to the High Court to switch off life support for a baby in a coma, the ECHO understands. Alfie Evans’s family said they were now in a “living nightmare” after the hospital said they had exhausted all options in trying to diagnose and treat his mystery brain condition."

Get that?

They don't even know what's wrong with the poor boy.

Adding insult to (fatal) injury:

"An Italian children’ hospital has offered to take the child as a patient for further inquiries and treatment. But the UK hospital administration and doctors are not only saying NO, seeks a court order allowing them to withdraw life-sustaining treatment."

But hey: Free health care.

(For certain values of "care")
