/// So you don't want to treat any foreigners here, but you expect a foreign country to treat a British citizen. ///
I didn't say that this patient should be treated free of charge in the country he caught this dreaded disease, we always pay our way or they just don't treat us.
And to clear matters up further, I have also not said that we should not treat this British national either, just asked the question.

i don't really think it matters a job what ANY of us think, as none of us have the power to change things so either the person gets treated here, or so that the person does not get treated here. I certainly think if i was a charity worker (as this person is) i would hope my insurance would cover to get me home

This site is called AnswerBank I have posted a question and it is for others to answer it or not, what's the point in answering one's own question?
Neither is it obligatory to do so.

If one of your loved ones fell seriously ill whilst working abroad or on holiday (and this is going back to your original question, not the subsequent question), would you want them flown back - or would you be happy for them to take their chances wherever they were?
That's the nub of the first question.
As naomi24 has pointed out - this is what travel insurance is all about.

All we would like to do is out up a counter argument against something you have asked.
You asked whether this British person should be flown back to the UK. We have answered the question. Is that now the end of the discussion, because if it isn't what are we supposed to be talking about on this thread?
It's like a weird version of Question Time, where a member of the audience puts a question to the panel, they answer and when David Dimbleby asks the questioner for a response, the audience member folds his arms and says, "No...I shan't answer".
It's...strange. Really quite strange.
Hey ho.

/// If you refuse to answer your own question AOG, then you can't blame us all for coming to our own conclusions about how you feel. ///
You can come to any conclusions you like, it has never stopped you before, but that don't necessarily make them right.
Regarding answering one's own question, must try that the next time I have a technical problem that I wish answering on the Technical section, it might save all those IT experts scratching their heads for an answer to my IT problem.

Get your autograph book out then, divebuddy.....this has nothing to do with left-wing, right wing, or even about immigration, though the neo-fascists and farage-feckers here would love that, it's about the right of a Brit to return home for treatment in a UK hospital, where he stands a far higher chance of survival. Nothing less.

Ah, those immortal words neo-facists and farage-feckers.
Nothing to do with left-wing or right-wing???????????
Like a guess on which side of the political spectrum our own DTCwordfan leans to?

Not just an "ordinary Brit".....a Brit from an uncontrolled outbreak of a deadly disease with no known cure and a mortality rate of nearing 90%
No ordinary Brit as you would agree.
Yes, we have the facilities, yes it is difficult to catch........but the Western experience of treating Ebola is less than those health workers in Western Africa.
Difficult decision and one that I am glad that i shall never have to make.
On balance?...............bring him back to the UK for humanitarian reasons rather than medical ones.
