"This machine is only being used on the tiniest, earliest babies where there is nothing else that can be done.
"But if we had a machine that we could use much more freely, then we would be able to deal with many more babies and have a much greater chance of saving lives."
так в чём дело-то - ему требуется официальное разрешение, т.е. машинка нелегальная? при чём тут "только самые малюсенькие детки" - а что, если появится официальная версия, её можно будет использовать деткам побольше? Или это доктор привык разговаривать со всеми как с 6мес младенцами? Последняя фраза doesn't make sense
Yes, we have lots of bureaucracy in the health care system.
I went and come back, in July. Didn't see much, but liked what I've seen. Do you have your London trip sorted? Do you know where and when you are staying?
In your house, of course! [don't faint: not ALL the time] I'll write to you tonight, OK?
There is lots of bureacracy here, too, between doctor's offices and insurance companies, but there is something strange in wanting an approval of NHS, the same organization doctor is working in, for a vital machine with excellent marketing potential - why not just go to an independent manufacturer and produce it? And then pocket persentage from sales to the hospitals everywhere? I have no particular knowledge of American system, but I would imagine a device like this, which was already tested positively on humans, will have no problems being approved by FDA (or whatever government body gives licences to medical equipment).
