The parents have dropped their appeal and are now blaming GOSH for not letting him have the treatment way back to the beginning of the year and by doing that caused Charlie too much damage. They fail to mention that GOSH were going to try the treatment but decided not to after Charlie had constant fits for 17 days.<br />The american doctor that the parents had pinned their hopes on and who originally said his treatment wouldn't help and withdrew his offer, it now turns out that he hadn't seen Charlie, read all his notes etc when he claimed he might be able to help after all. It also turns out he had a financial interest in the drugs used in the treatment.<br /><br /><b>In a damning assessment of his claims the hospital said: 'On July 13 he stated that not only had he not visited the hospital to examine Charlie but in addition, he had not read Charlie's contemporaneous medical records or viewed Charlie's brain imaging or read all of the second opinions about Charlie's condition.<br /><br />'Further, GOSH was concerned to hear the Professor state, for the first time, whilst in the witness box, that he retains a financial interest in some of the compounds he proposed prescribing for Charlie.</b><br /><br />The parents still seem to be in denial regarding how sick Charlie was,the effects of his disease on him and,encouraged by their doctor, believing Charlie would be a normal healthy little boy after said nucleoside treatment.<br /><br />At least Charlie will now be allowed to die in peace, pain free and with dignity.<br /><br />http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4723092/Charlie-Gard-s-fate-decided-TODAY.htmlTania Cadoganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06511272355142175684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809371631407381115.post-1966761869476729972017-07-25T00:53:22.202+03:002017-07-25T00:53:22.202+03:00(I know its technically not the right blogpost but...(I know its technically not the right blogpost but F it) Charlie gard's parents ended their appeal and have decided to let him go.Connorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05626470287391577908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809371631407381115.post-66048088186293351722017-07-20T06:52:27.770+03:002017-07-20T06:52:27.770+03:00Anon - This comment was off topic and derogatory. ...Anon - This comment was off topic and derogatory.

Most docs have no one on call at night or weekends -- just a message that says wait until morning or call 911 or just go to ER. Plus, docs don't talk to each other.

She's always walking out of hospitals against the recommendation of her doctors and it worries me because I can tell that her distrust of medical professionals is rubbing off on her kids. I mean I understand that she's from a different culture and grew up in a different era, but it's just so weird to have the people I went to school with question science. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16495738861808637756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809371631407381115.post-51270844211790484192017-07-19T01:44:18.681+03:002017-07-19T01:44:18.681+03:00Well, I suppose if you have a son like Mikel, you&...Well, I suppose if you have a son like Mikel, you've probably already won the lottery once.
