I know this will sound strange to people who see past the curtain...
But there are people who really believe the “experts”
My father was one of those .. collage degree .... taught to trust the “experts”
We had many a talk. He could not understand how I could second guess a “professional”. He just could not get past the indoctrination.
I don't know if that's the case here. But the parents may have been desperate to do the right thing for their daughter... they may be victims here to.
Academia has placed some strong chains on the minds of many.
Remember this was 5 years ago ... it wasn't as clear cut, the info was hidden. ....
You have to trust your DR.
Or at least that's what my dad said before he got the covid jab
he died 2 weeks later ...
Wow! I went to college the main thing I learned was not to trust experts, myself included.
Very sorry to hear about your Father.
These parents went to multiple Dr until they found one that did what THEY wanted. No mercy for these ‘parents’.
