“I think it is very, very, very unlikely that CH has this one wrong. For them to take the position they have taken, all the facts must have been reviewed by the service chiefs, by the board, by house and outside counsel, by HMS and by CRICO. It is impossible to believe that there is not compelling evidence of Munchausen’s by proxy.
Of course the first-line clinical staff could have gotten this wrong. But the further up the line it went, the more likely it is that error would have been corrected. The stakes, if they are wrong, are enormous. Institutions like CH do not support errors by first-line staff. They just don’t. There is too much at stake.”

Munchausen syndrome by proxy. So that is what you believe this to be? That might explain a kid who was ice skating about a year ago and is now in and out of the hospital.
The only other thing and I’ve seen this before is the kid has some rare genetic illness that that is extremely hard to find. I’ve read stories about this. They think the mom had Munchausens only to find some rare disease and it took some doctor either from across the US or across the world to find it.
I have no idea what the diagnosis is.
I don't have the records, I don't have the consultant reports, I don't have the Xrays, and I haven't examined the child.
Therefore, I have absolutely no basis whatsoever to have an opinion.
Do you?
