Takeaways from this:
- I'm not sure whether the headline was manipulative, but I expected some sort of miracle healing story where the "boy came back" by recovering 100% after the brush with death. As the narrative ended, I became irate that "changed life" meant living with the subsequent impairments.
- Nodding at the comment about "lest we try to finish the job" because of the various scandals accusing parents of the hoax "shaken baby syndrome" or turning them the wrong way while they slept
- Reminded again that Dr. House and Doc Martin are pure fiction, and NHS docs can't diagnose their way out of a paper sack -- another imaginary "SIDS" and even this time we have "SIDS without the D but call it SIDS anyway because we don't really care how it happened if it weren't criminal malevolent parents".
- Empathized with the perspective of the utterly bewildered naïvete of an obviously devoted and sensitive husband-father. He's thrust into a medical emergency unprepared and trying to deal with screaming, uncertain futures, a conga line of health care professionals, and the machines they wield, and the promises they can't make.
