Yes, and other doctors are bringing it up in cases where diagnosis is difficult. I have two friends with children who have chronic headaches, and if a doctor mentions somatoform disorder, their reaction is “Oh, freep, get me out of here!”
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.
That's a good question-If not the governor, maybe Connecticut CS, or someone else in Justina's home state?
How can denying her Easter services with her Catholic family, visits with them, and not letting her speak to her priest- be right?
The Boston Bomber has more rights, and has been treated better in prison, than Justina has by BCH.
They (BCH) need to be confronted about why they are allowing a sick child in their care to be traumatized like this.
If they do not put a stop to what is being done to Justina by their "doctors" , they do not deserve their reputation as " a world renowned pediatric facility".
They will fully deserve to be rearded as a facility that puts its financial and political interests above all else , including the well being of the children in its care
“reared”=”regarded”
you know what? my migraines began when I was 7 years old. I can remember like it was yesterday. But no one took you to the neurologist back then.
One of my daughters had migraines in the last couple of years, and we saw a neurologist. They’ve largely faded as the first throes of puberty passed, fortunately.
The neurologist suggested seeing a psychiatrist, because my daughter is 14 and has an attitude problem. Fortunately, the doctor didn’t push it, especially after we saw our GP and he said she seemed normal, for a self-absorbed teen. However, we could have been threatened with a “medical neglect” charge for not following the suggestion.
wonder how many kids that idiot neurologist has
I didn’t ask. She was nice enough, but I suppose when all you have is hammer, everything looks like a nail ... that is to say, doctors often just want to *prescribe*, even when the “illness” is “being a 14-year-old girl.”
lol
There is no other way to put it.
