OK so let's look at this shall we...
"Her family say the hospital staff found it hard to look after Emma, who could display challenging behaviour and struggle to express how she felt"
"Challenging behaviour" is one of those nice PC phrases that actually translates as "hideously violent and will lash out at any living being that comes within 10 metres" and she "struggles to express how she felt" because she has the mental capacity and reasoning ability somewhat below that of a rabid rat on PCP.
But doctors decided not to treat her, saying she would not co-operate with her treatment, and she was sent home.So she could not consent to treatment so they could do nothing. I'll bet if they did do painful, invasive treatment (which cancer treatments are) the parents would have had some smartarse lawyer in and suing anyway for violating her human right to comfyness.
"Nobody talked to her about her care, although we tried to advise them what she needed." She added: "I know cancer treatment is expensive, and I feel like Emma wasn't seen as an investment."
Er... no-one talked to her because when they did they got (a)hit, (b)screamed at, (c) a reply that sounded like "Ahhh weeehhh guuur blleeeh" or all 3. And damned right she's not an investment. Look like it or not health care in this country is fucked, it doesn't work and the only way it even vaguely works is for it to be quietly and unofficially rationed. So doctors, faced with some 80 year old bloke with cancer and 20 year old bloke with cancer and one set of expensive chemo drugs are going to have to make some choices and it's hardly one that needs much thinking about. Same with your mong; no she's not an investment, she's a cost who will never contribute anything apart from breathing out carbon dioxide. Sorry to be harsh love but that's just the way it is. Personally if I had been one of God's 4.30pm on a Friday afternoon creations then I would have just liked to have been left at the side of the nest to die as I don't care what anyone from the disability rights industry (and it is an industry... keeps them all in jobs and comfy offices) says people who are this mentally fucked up not only have no quality of life they have a negative impact on the quality of life of those around them.
And finally of course we have the icing on the cake. The parents are going to sue for a large wedge of cash. Now you would think that, having seen the "failings" of the NHS caused by lack of money and manpower all up close and personal that they would realise that taking a couple of million out of it to line their own pockets will mean that treatment for future mongs will get even worse; but noooo... just keep thinking about that cruise and the conservatory, there's a good pair of parasites. Mind you now we'll have "you must treat mongs at all costs" directives which means that the rest of us suffer just to keep some drooling basket case going for another six months.
Well maybe not me... I've got BUPA
