I am sure you all followed the situation of Jessica Pelletier, who was put into a psychiatric ward, because doctors wouldn't recognize her mitochondrial disease, even though she was previously diagnosed and treated for that. I think if it hadn't been for the media publicity -- such as Huckaby, she may have ended up like the poor guy in this article...
Oops — it’s Justina Pelletier — I think the sister is Jessica.
Justina Pelletier Retells Hospital Horror Story: Forced to Stay but Told Her Rare Disease Was All in Her Head
The local media heat came from Howie Carr. Nobody in Mass politics pays attention to national media.

Confined 20 years to a mental facility DESPITE being cleared in criminal court, freed only after his lawyer could convince a head shrinker with a brain to READ THE F’N TRANSCRIPT instead of only the initial police report. OMG

The Business Socialist crowd (who supports government protecting business at any cost) will not like this....but this guy should sue the facility....and every person involved...until they are bankrupt
Well, at least he had free healthcare for 20 years. /s
Where’s Yossarian?
If you say you’re not delusional, it proves your delusional.
The shrink-doctors & psychologists are worse, on average, than ordinary MDs.
The “patent” didn’t understand that he was a “cash cow” for that agency and his release would have impacted on their budget.
Nothing to see here....move along.
