A Chilling glimpse into forced medicine
A true story
Not Just a book, not just a wish...but a neccessary awakening to better healthcare
Mark Westley and his wife, Dianne raised their six children on a charming country property. The Westleys were a typical, close-knit Australian family who enjoyed happy, healthy lives - until the day eleven-year-old Sarah was struck down by a severe mystery illness. Sarah’s parents rushed her to several small country hospitals in search of help. Yet before adequate tests had been performed, doctors announced that Sarah was pregnant - an outrageous misdiagnosis that triggered a devastating chain of events for the family. It was only when Sarah was finally transferred to a large teaching hospital that doctors discovered the true diagnosis: a rare condition they had never seen before…and wanted to study.
When Mark and Dianne asked the usual questions about their daughter’s treatment, doctors stonewalled them. Unable to penetrate the strange medical secrecy surrounding Sarah’s case, her parents set out on their own to find the best treatment available for their daughter. However, Sarah’s doctors had other ideas, and summoned the help of a government department with police powers to force their will on the young girl. The unsuspecting family suddenly found themselves up against a powerful industry and an utterly ruthless state system. Nothing could have prepared them for the horrors they would have to face…
A chilling glimpse into the dark side of health care.
The true story of a brave young girl claiming her right to live and die with dignity.
Her last wish is already changing the system…

'On my wife's urging I read Sarah's Last Wish by Eve Hillary. I started it late one night, thinking I would make her happy and read a few pages until I fell asleep. How wrong I was. It read like a medical thriller and I couldn't put it down. It certainly changed my attitude and no doubt its sheer power and scope will bring about positive changes to a western healthcare system in urgent need of reform.'
---'I never knew there was such a thing as forced medicine and forced surgery until I read this book Sarah's Last Wish by Eve Hillary. If Sarah's wish came true, it would be a better world. No doubt about it. If anything could get people motivated to work together to improve health care, then this book would be it.'
