Pain can be faked...swelling of the extremities cannot be faked.
I understand that. But there’s a key difference between somatoform and Munchausen’s in that the locus of the issue in somatofotm is within the patient. So I’m unclear as to why the parents are being denied custody.
This is a difference of medical opinion which has put an innocent girl and her family in the middle. And the girl is being held hostage with a medical treatment plan as ransom. It’s beyond ludicrous.
The opinion citing the father’s anger after having his daughter kidnapped by the state is completely Unimpressive. Of course he’s combative and angry. You took his kid.
