Madam, - My article in your HEALTHplus supplement of August 19th, "A child's life of endless, awful suffering", has provoked some disapproval. However, the piece was not about skin-disease management 2008 versus 1986, allergy, contagion, euthanasia, suicide or "playing God". It was an honest portrayal of a family tragedy, my distrust of religion and the twists of fate. - Yours, etc,
