A SYDNEY eye specialist says if baby Gloria Thomas had survived, she would have lost at least one eye due to an extreme vitamin deficiency usually only seen in Third World countries.
Paediatric ophthalmologist Ian Kennedy told a NSW Supreme Court jury he had never seen a case like Gloria's, and that if she had lived, it would have been impossible to reconstruct her eye.
Why?
Manju Sam, 36, and her homeopath husband, Thomas Sam, 42, have pleaded not guilty to the manslaughter of their nine-month-old daughter by failing to get her proper medical attention.
If the case is proven this couple are idiots and should be goaled, however society will need to accpet some of the blame in this for our tolerant and often favourable attitudes towards 'alternative medicine'.
It is about time we started to call bullishit on the charlatan's peddling this garbage.
