Lu Hung-chi, pediatric cardiologist at NTU who doubles as director of the ROC Association for Pediatric Medicine, says that while doctors wish to diagnose and cure sick children, there are frequent occasions where parents don't have the money for an operation and may even abandon the treatment altogether.
台大小兒心臟科醫師，同時擔任中華民國小兒科醫學會理事長的呂鴻基表示，醫生有心替病童診斷、救治，但家長沒有錢替孩子開刀，以致放棄治療的情況，時有所聞。
