Is there a doctor on this forum?

Three-year-old Jolina Skye Barton suffers from Ohtahara Syndrome, a rare form of epilepsy which can spark dozens of seizures a day.
Does the flight itself not pose a real risk then to someone who is so vulnerable, and does this not also create a huge possibility of the flight needing to be diverted to find treatment? Given the lack of land between AMS & SXM, not to mention the lack of specialist hospitals in the region (how many childrens' units are there - maybe one in SJU?), it all sounds very risky to me.
