Pete, I'm genuinely interested in how your current situation develops. Considering that you're willing to pay, what alternatives do you have to the particular hospital and medical staff you've been dealing with so far? Surely paying for treatment is normal at private hospitals, do you have access to any of those? Is medical tourism an option for you?
Re: your earlier comment - --- 2. Every human being whose life is in peril has a right to assistance.
Every person must come to the aid of anyone whose life is in peril, either personally or calling for aid, by giving him the necessary and immediate physical assistance, unless it involves danger to himself or a third person, or he has another valid reason. --- Where is the right and the assistance for that child in the pictures Scott linked to? What you wrote about 'Every person must come to the aid ... ' has one heck of a collectivist ring to it. What's with that?
