    Three doctors who treat refugees examined @JulianAssange and say he is ill and being deprived of adequate medical care. Their point: if health care is a right, Assange deserves it, too. @sondracrosby16 @brockchisholm, @seanreedlovehttps://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/jan/24/julian-assange-care-wikileaks-ecuadorian-embassy …

        Yes. You're right. Assange is a fugitive, not a refugee. In health care we aim to treat regardless of status--and not call the police on our patients unless they are a danger to others. But that doesn't mean we owe fugitives protection from the consequences of their actions.

        He could go to a hospital. I do not believe the doctors or nurses would call the police. To equate him with a refugee is wrong

        Assange resides in Ecuadorean territory. If he’s unhappy with the care he’s receiving, he can: a) make his grievances known to the Ecuadorean government which he believes is failing him b) Leave

        He didn't enter that building because of crimes against the state, but dodging sex crimes allegations. Do you provide that kind of attentive care at the local prison?

        Those were BS false charges and were dropped by the Swedish government last May.

        Replying to @LaAcadianCheri @Cody_Robison and

        Wrong. The warrant was dropped because as a fugitive, he evaded getting served. Should he return to Sweden before the statute of limitations, it could be resumed. But if he believes he’s a free man, he can just open the front door, walk out and take a train to Sweden.pic.twitter.com/7Onef6I9nq

        Og youre worried about WikiLeaks, it could survive on it's own without assange. Anonymous and other channels existed before him and they can exist without him. As far as I know he hasn't done anything particularly useful than be a figurehead and mouthpiece.

        Also, he's not a figurehead, he founded it, write the code, edited the web-site, solicited the leaks, had the balls to publish them etc etc. I agree he doesn't seem like an especially likable person.

        He was so scared of possibly dying or being miserable in jail even tho he already made himself so miserable by locking himself up in an embassy and is now probably on the verge of dying right now to illness. Whatever happens, he did it to himself.

        I must say that I resent the entire premise of this article. Assange is not being confined to the Ecuadorean embassy. He has sought and was granted asylum in order to avoid arrest on a variety of charges. Only his continued effort to avoid justice keeps him confined.

        Ecuador approved @JulianAssange’s asylum application, agreeing his fears of persecution are well-founded. UN did the same (http://ohchr.org/Documents/Issu  …). Those decisions are for governments. We focus on right to healthcare

        I have a ton of respect for you, @atul_gawande, but this take is B.S. He's not a prisoner. Competent adults can refuse to go to the hospital for any reason they choose, including "I will be arrested on rape charges if I leave this embassy."
