Anthony Stokes

The Anthony Stokes case is one that questions the healthcare system’s perception towards deviant behavior among children. Stokes is 15 years old and has been kept off the heart transplant list because of his behavioral issues of non-compliance with medication from the past (Nye, 2013).
