Man är en relativt ung trebarnsmamma som till sist ber om sitt eget liv inför läkarna och säger att det känns som om jag håller på att dö, att jag håller på att svälta ihjäl. Varpå ingen hjälper en.

Man kan kanske inte begära att läkare ska känna till alla sällsynta diagnoser, men de som obehandlade har oundviklig dödlig utgång kanske de borde lära sig lite extra om?”

Had Jennifer Worth been a surgeon rather than a midwife, these are the tales that she might have told.
