I want to know the name of the quack that decided due to his fat ego that it was all in Justina’s head

"Somatoform disorder" is the new name for "Munchhausen by proxy syndrome," where parents deliberately make children sick so they can have the drama of treating them.

Boston Children's Hospital has a number of doctors who specialize in somatoform disorder, and they are trying to be the world leader in its treatment.

They saw Justina as an opportunity to advance that goal.

Now they just want her to die so they can be done with her, but they don't want to give up control over her because that might call their diagnosis into question if she gets better once she escapes their grasp.
