Hold on. So let me get this straight.
And this guy blames the Hospital?
Wow. You might as blame God, Mickey Mouse, and Tiktok dancers who also failed to keep her alive as well.
Skipped: 0. Did not vaccinate their child against the most common and deadly childhood infectious disease (measles), for which a free and highly effective vaccine is available and offered.
There was a similar case here in Alberta several years ago. Kid got bacterial meningitis and his parents tried to treat it with chili oil and maple syrup. Poor kid reached the point where he couldn't sit because his back muscles were seized, so Mom threw a mattress in the back of the car for him to lay on to visit the naturopath. Nurse friend of theirs alerted them to the possibility of meningitis and told them to take him to a doctor, but instead they went home and did nothing for several more days... kid eventually stopped breathing, and they only called 911 after he started turning blue. They lived in bumfuck nowhere, so it took fifteen or twenty minutes to meet the ambulance in the middle.
Rather than accept even a shred of responsibility, they blamed the ambulance for not being adequately equipped to resuscitate their child.
You forgot:
excessive oil consumption will cause GI distress in itself.
