I hope for 2 things, 1 much more important than the other.

1 - Courts find in favour of Natalie and Kempinski / EP have to provide life saving support

2 - Kempinski / EP get hammered worldwide for the PR disaster they are bringing on. This is classic PR "What not to do in a crisis 101" - Engage? Acknowledge? Address the issue? Apologise? Review standards? Conduct (or even promise) an enquiry?

Or just sit there.... deleting FB comments...

It's sad and pathetic. I will never give Kempinski a single dirham ever.
I think you have to remember, I have a feeling the order to ignore it might be coming from the very top. I'd imagine Kempinsi's global management are throwing a shit storm over here, but those with significant influence could easily be holding up the process.

Probably true - also - those at the very top probably spend 1m AED easily in a day without batting an eyelid... seriously, money is no object to these people.

Then wouldn't it be lovely if they paid for Natalie's treatment at a quality medical facility, in accordance with the true spirit of Ramadan?

Supporters have literally bombarded sites that relate to Emirates Palace, Kempinski, partners, sponsors, tour Co's, insurance Co etc etc. Look on any comments page and you will see messages of Justice For Natalie. The EP PR dept must be in melt down. I imagine a few meetings and conference calls have taken place already.

I would say Trip Advisor should be next on the list... massive "footfall" on that site. (I can't access it at work otherwise I'd get the ball rolling myself)

Certainly a site they all look at be it management of the Hotel or Tourists.

And better yet, they can't moderate the comments without setting up a new profile..or so my friend who has a b&b says who tried to get one silly comment removed.

I think they are screened by TA before being published, so may not be quite as easy to post.

http://www.facebook.com/JusticeForNatalie Can we bump this thread please guys? Nat is no better and is pretty much waiting around to die now. If she has a major seizure she will probably die. They, of course, have done nothing. We have to share share share. Thanks.

Please guys, I'm certain we'll be reading ''British expat dies whilst Kempinski sit back and watch'' - we cannot let this happen. This is one of these rare opportunities when instead of reading about something when it's too late, we have the chance, just about, to maybe help this family have a better ending and not let this corporation rob them of this precious girl.

It makes me very sad indeed.

I don't lnow what else we can do. We have liked the FB group, signed the petition and some of us have tried to get press coverage but got no response from the family. We're also boycotting Kempinski, some have contacted senior staff in their head office too.

We'd love to do more, but what else can we do? That's a serious question.

I have just been saying I wish there is more we could do as well. I am guessing that until 9th August has come and gone we won't know, everything crossed that Kempinski will do the right thing and Natalie can get the medical attention she needs. If that doesn't happen then I think they will have to start asking for financial help in order to get the much needed care to help her. Not sure what form that will take, I am sure there will be plenty of people who would like to contribute, sponsor an event or the like to try and help.

How have you contacted the family, the site is monitored 24/7 maybe they missed it? I think just share share share.

I spoke to a friend of a friend who knows her. The treatment/operation etc she needs is hundreds of thousands of pounds. I'm afraid this one is not something a Fundraiser can cure, but it is something the hotel can sort out. It makes me so angry.
