Sorry to hear about the illness. Cancer, excruciating back pain and legs/arms being immobilised... Sounds quite gruesome. Not something I would wish on anyone.

Though I have no sympathy for the "being stranded" situation as that's simply a situation someone brings on them self.

This seems quite unfair on the British Consulate and the staff who had to answer that question.

I don't know any government that repatriates its citizens just because they've become ill.
