Topic	UK's NHS doctors say 1mo baby is too sick and gives up; Vatican saves him.
IdiotMachine 04/26/24 9:24:32 AM #1:	The unidentified boy, whose UK-based parents are said to be Italian and Nigerian, suffers from a congenital heart condition. Doctors at a Bristol hospital told his parents they could not operate on him, because he was too unwell. His parents contacted Italian authorities and the experienced lawyer Simone Pillon, to get him treated elsewhere. Italian authorities said they would help and following a High Court ruling, the baby was allowed to be transferred. Italy sent a military aircraft with a full medical team to the UK, and the baby was flown away. He underwent surgery this week at the Bambino Gesu Children's Hospital, and is now recovering. Italian doctors said he is "fighting" and "wants to live". Mr Pillon said: "The operation was available in the UK, but the doctors decided that, following the protocols of the UK, the baby was not fit for the operation. They decided that he was too ill. The doctors in the Vatican hospital examined the papers and decided they could do it. The British doctors were wonderful because they allowed the transfer. The baby was operated on and its going well and the doctors said that he wants to live and that hes fighting. I believe that he will have another operation as soon as possible." A spokesperson for University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust said: "We worked with Bambino Gesu Children's Hospital to support the safe transfer of a newborn patient to Rome. "Due to patient confidentiality, it would not be appropriate to go into specific details regarding a patient's care."
