Premature Baby Denied Treatment in UK, Dies Two Hours Later -All American Blogger

Recently a twenty-three year old young woman gave birth prematurely to her son. The baby, who was born at 22 weeks gestation was denied any treatment under England's system of universal health care guidelines which routinely deny treatment to babies born before 23 weeks. "Miss Capewell reported doctors refused to even see her son Jayden, who lived for almost two hours without any medical support." The baby was breathing and had a strong heartbeat but medics refused to send him to a special care baby unit" ..."the medical guidelines for Health Service hospitals state that babies should not be given intensive care if they are born at less than 23 weeks.
The guidance, drawn up by the Nuffield Council, is not compulsory but advises doctors that medical intervention for very premature children is not in the best interests of the baby, and is not ’standard practice’." I guess "universal" health care really doesn't care for everyone. Visit:All American Blogger » Premature Baby Denied Treatment in UK, Dies Two Hours Later:
