Healthcare providers in the United Kingdom’s socialist medical system have sought to block a seriously ill teenage girl from extending her life-saving care, prevented her from seeking treatment abroad, and even used a court order to block her from speaking publicly to fundraise to save her life, it is claimed.
Speaking for the first time — although anonymously after doctors obtained a court order to prevent her from using her name — a defiant 19-year-old girl has condemned the socialist National Health Service (NHS) for seeking to “condemn” her to death as she battles with a rare illness, a national newspaper claims.
“By the time you read this, I could be dead. That’s according to my doctors who, for the last year, have repeatedly told me that I have had only days to live. But I am a fighter and will continue to fight,” the girl, only referred to as ‘ST’, told the Daily Mail.
“They’ve done everything they can to stop me telling this story,” ST continued. “I have found myself trapped in a medical and legal system governed by a toxic paternalism which has condemned me for wanting to live.”
The teen suffers from a genetic disorder known as mitochondrial depletion syndrome (MDS) which limits the functions of a person’s cellular processes and was exacerbated last year after she contracted the Chinese coronavirus.
