Free surgery gone awry

A Russian boy travels to Oklahoma for a risky surgery that unfortunately left him brain dead. The father lashes out at the hospital:

Kurbanov, speaking through a translator, said the doctor and hospital were more interested in promoting themselves than properly caring for his son.

The news story amounted to a “TV commercial” that “talked about the hospital and the doctor and that even people from Russia came to them to find miracles,” Kurbanov said bitterly.

“There is no support at St. Anthony; there must be some other hidden agenda the doctors pursue,” said the father, who refuses to end life support for his son.
