The courts have no business interfering.

That's a terrible story and unfortunately it is not uncommon. My sister in law's mother was getting really bad stomach pains and they kept telling her it was nothing and finally she went to see another Dr and found out she had stomach Cancer.

When dealing with a disease like Cancer how can anyone know if they have the best remedy? There is no cure for Cancer so how can they go to a court and say he has to use Chemo because it's the best. They don't really know that. It works for some people and not for others. Cancer is too unstable for someone to say which therapy is "the best".
