Well that's the bottom line isn't it?
A little boy is fighting for his life, and an NHS doctor's ego is bruised because the father wants a different opinion, so the police get involved with a European arrest warrant on the back of the complaint from the hospital for neglect, while it's obvious the child is far from neglected.
The fault here lies with the doctor, for some reason doctors believe they are beyond reproach, whereas they are as fallible and prone to mistakes and prejudice as much as any person
they should be questioned and challenged, often.
That doctor is more concerned about someone questioning his judgement than he is the little boy.
It's obvious that this could have been avoided with the correct dialogue between the parents and the hospital from the outset.
