Treatment Abroad
Agreed that in spite of the best hospitals and doctors in Pakistan
comparable to the hospitals and doctors anywhere else there may be a need for
some odd patient to be flown to the UK for the treatment of some particular
disease. However, isn’t it strange that the treatment for that disease is not
available even in the mighty Great Britain and that there is a talk in the air
of the patient being taken to the USA?! What if the US hospital also puts
its hands up for the treatment where else would then he be taken to? Or,
is it a case of the patient declining treatment than that of the doctors’
incapability of treating him?
