The problem is that Leanne was not truthful about Oliver's condition, so when Dr Shmidt agreed to see Oliver he did so on the basis of this incorrect imformation. When he learned the truth and decided not to come, Leanne unjustly blamed Oliver's doctor of making the decision for him. While appreciating Leanne's dilemma I find it difficult to sympathize with her because they have painted her as such an aggressive and unlikable character. However saying that I think on the whole this story has been told well, illustrating what a difficult and terrible situation this would be for any parent to find themself in.

That's the problem, I wholly sympathise with Leanne and I can see how you'd try anything but her attitude to others hasn't been helpful. I'm surprised the doctor will still deal with her as Leanne has all but accused her of wanting to murder Oliver but at the same time doing that would give her ammunition.

Leanne's mistruths have not helped but I am sure the German doctor would get access to medical reports to work with. As to the second call, hadn't Oliver's condition worsened between that and the events of Friday?
