Yes one can find flaws in her doctors to be sure. But who hasn't? I was repeatedly misdiagnosed by doctors, dentists, hygenists and even an oral surgeon.
I was particularly struck by all of the toys and kids stuff in the RT treatment room, and when I asked, UCSF has a special day of the week that they have all of the children in for RT. Very tough on the techs.
You have to admit that she is a courageous little girl who demonstrates an excellent job of being her own advocate, a lesson we can benefir from.
