Will Grigg’s Liberty Minute

March 8, 2010

Despite the fact that 22-year old Kane Gorny was a cancer patient at one of England’s finest hospitals, a neglectful nursing staff left the young man dangerously dehydrated.

At one point, when Kane became frantic for a drink, the nurses shook off their indifference long enough to call a security guard to restrain him. Kane finally called the police; when they arrived, the nursing staff insisted that he was all right and sent the police away.

It wasn’t until a day later that Kane received a drink from his anxious mother. He died just hours later after his mother had been ushered away. The government-run hospital did provide trauma counseling – to the nursing staff responsible for the young man’s death, that is, not his bereaved mother.

According to one authoritative estimate, hundreds of British patients die from malnutrition and dehydration in hospitals each year. This is something to remember as Congress contemplates further government control over our own health care system.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
