Exactly, Alfie's brain condition was undiagnosed, how the hell can decisions, where it literally is life or death, be made on guess work?
Doctors did not expect Alfie to live off his ventilator, yet were left 'gobsmacked' when they finally removed it when he carried on breathing...
Doctors do get things wrong, they are not miracle workers all the time and it should be right that parents get a second opinion and if necessary, in another country.
