(23,272 posts)This is a major high stakes case involving dueling medical teams - the BEST in the world.
This isn't about the parents. Really. You know this. They may have been assholes to the social worker but this is about the medical care of Justina.
Even CT DCFS has declined to get involved in this.
I'm flummoxed as to why you persist in defending the BC med/psych team who have obviously fucked up, admittedly so since they've relinquished ALL medical and psychological care to Tufts and the family.
The 'case" was that Justina's family and doctors were "overmedicalizing" her. That she does not have mitochondrial disorder and was simply faking all of her issues. Exactly "what" do you mean when you say the parents or doctors should have "cleaned up their act"?
Its incomprehensible on the face of it.
