There is actually a strong basis for suing the hospital for rushing to make this diagnosis. Another child with mitrochondrial disorder was slapped with that somatoform diagnosis and the family dealt with child protective services, though the child is with the family.
And there are several other cases of the hospital calling in child protective services when the family disagreed with the doctor.

That won't be much consolation if their daughter dies while she's locked up there.

I was wondering if the parents can sue. I mean, if Justina is in DCF custody, couldn't a judge rule that the parents don't have standing to sue on her behalf? I don't know, but maybe that's part of why the judge gave DCF custody.
