A lot of medical care, while based in science, is an art. There are good artists and bad artists.
Your comment unless I read it was, was saying that their doctor would only produce a letter/opinion that was complementary to the couple's position/plight.
I believe that is incorrect. I believe that physicians are required to be unbaised and impartial.

Doctors are incredibly vulnerable to lawsuits. That's why if he wrote a letter that said that he was basically guaranteeing a stable pregnancy and that she could travel then he's already sort of in the legal cross hairs.
a 3 month premature birth which is what this sounds like isn't exactly usual.
It wasn't that long ago that doctors were telling woman not to travel at all in their last trimester because travel is incredibly stressful on pregnant woman.
