 In her article "Alfie Evans is not 'dying' or 'brain-dead,' he’s been misdiagnosed: Polish doctor," Dorothy McLean writes - "A Polish doctor has stated that UK toddler Alfie Evans is not 'dying' and is certainly not 'brain-dead.' Dr. Izabela Palgan, a pediatrician and children's oncologist from Bydgoszcz in Poland, told Radio Wnet April 25 that in her professional opinion, doctors at Alder Hey hospital in Liverpool where Alfie is being kept are misdiagnosing the boy. "'Doctors at the hospital in Liverpool asked the court to agree to the separation of the infant from life-support, on the grounds that it would be in the 'best interests' of the child. The infant is not a dying child. He is not brain-dead,' she said, as reported by Polish news portal Fronda.pl. Palgan said that Alfie's brain scans do not show that he is in a 'terminal state.' They do not, for example, show the state of his brain stem, she said. "The child reacts to the voice of his father, he periodically opens his eyes, he tightens his mouth around his soother. The parents insist that he is making contact with them,' she added." Yet, it appears that the administration at Alder Rey hospital have determined that their (misdiagnosed?) treatment of Aldie was costing the system too much, so they disconnected him from the feeding tube and ventilator to let him die. But to everyone's surprise, he started breathing on his own and taking fluids. Aldie's father appealed to Pope Francis, and Italy granted him citizenship and offered to care for him in Rome - but the British hospital and courts refused! Now his parents are trying to get him out of that hospital and take him home. So much for rationed, socialized medicine: you'd better recover within the time alloted for the diagnosis, or the system will help you die.
