I'm sorry to hear that. What you and I think about what should be a good
system is irrelevant to this problem. I don't like to see people driving
into a wall. No idea if that wall is a "code of silence" or a complicated
organisation that doesn't handle well relation with outsiders.
You should definitely find a doctor (there are 10 of thousands, even a few
foreigners) and have him use his knowledge of the system and his relations
to arrange Bill's transfer to another hospital. Normally, that takes weeks
or months to get an appointment with a "professor", if nobody helps you to
find a short-cut.
