The issue I came across was of a young lad with Down's syndrome who could not get a tooth removed and had to search everywhere. Doctors were not signed up to this or helping out and I found it to be really disturbing that he went two, three or four days or whatever it was in pain and without being treated. It is one of the things I have encountered.
