I remember that part. The patient refused treatment because he thought the doctor was wrong. Why didn't he take the doctor seriously? I get the feeling he didn't want medical treatment outside of the US. We shouldn't play quarterback after the fact, but he probably wouldn't have suffered that much if he got on it fast.
