英国二战飞行英雄无钱医治眼疾

2008年02月18日 新闻晨报


  中国日报网站特稿 88岁的杰克·塔格年轻时曾经是英国皇家空军的一名飞行员,并在第二次世界大战期间成功执行过多次战斗任务,但是如今这位昔日的战斗英雄却因无力交纳昂贵的医药费而面临失明的危险。

  杰克·塔格患有一种叫做“湿性黄斑点退化”的眼疾。医生表示,它可能会导致塔格在3个月内失明。上周,医生告诉塔格,一种名叫“Lucentis”的特效药物可以使他恢复视力,但是一个疗程需要3至14次的药物注射,每次注射需要花费760英镑。对此,政府的指导意见认为,这种治疗“过于昂贵”,除非塔格已经有一只眼睛失明,否则不能享受这种医治。陷入窘境的塔格与77岁的妻子决定将自家房产出售以支付高达1.1万英镑的治疗费用。(能够将数亿英镑的军费投入伊拉克阿富汗,用以协助美国进行“反恐”战争,而为二战英雄治疗眼疾的万余英镑开支确是“过于昂贵”,心寒!心寒!---我was一个兵)

  对于杰克·塔格的遭遇,许多医生都义愤填膺,塔格的一位朋友马丁在一家只供医生使用的网站上向英国首相戈登·布朗发去了一封公开信,称杰克·塔格的不幸遭遇正是“工党政府无力管理英国国家卫生服务体系(NHS)的典型例证”。
