Your 11-year-old child becomes desperately ill with a swollen tummy, vomiting, fever, and severe pain, so you take her to your GP. He's unable to help, so tells you to take her to the nearest emergency ward. So you take her there, but the doctor ignores her pain, ignores her vomiting, ignores her fever, and diagnoses pregnancy based on her swollen tummy. Under such circumstances, it's obvious that such a diagnosis would be absurd in an adult woman. In an immature girl who hasn't yet experienced menstruation, it's madness.
This was merely the beginning of the trauma suffered by Sarah Westley, her parents, and the rest of their family. In Sarah's Last Wish, Eve Hillary tells the true tale of what happened to a desperately ill girl—her physical and mental abuse, the removal of her parents for trying to help their child, and the useless treatments given to a dying child. It leaves little room for doubt that the doctors involved were more interested in playing god than in helping ease misery...
