If so, their diagnosis will be null in my mind. I want someone not just with medical credentials, but who is not pro or anti affiliated with this "religion". btw, I'm certain that if it's discovered scientology denied him a seizure/psychiatric drug he may have needed, the "church" will come out swinging until that information is changed or disappears.

How many posts here criticize the families of older folks with multiple chronic diseases who are sustained with nearly zero quality of life at great PUBLIC expense in hosptials?

The kid had two nannies, he was in a tropical paradise, — not locked in some squalid room.

If the parents chose to let him live out his natural life in a loved and cared for situation I’m not going to criticize them or drag their weird relgion through the mud.
