I followed the Pelletier case through the courts and appeals, praying for this family. As I watched the teen continue to deteriorate I could not understand how the judges could be so blind. I understand doctors have their god complex and cover each other well, but the judges had nothing to gain by keeping that girl under poor medical care. The young lady had done very well for years being treated for a diagnosis, that as we can now see, can be devastating without proper care.
When she went into the hospital for whatever the issue was because her doctor was out of town, the original issue was lost in the power grab. When the parents questioned the misdiagnosis, the hospital immediately summoned children's services. That phone call ultimately turned into 16 months of mishandling a human being, mistreatment of a medical condition, disregard of parental and patient rights, and an outrageous miscarriage of justice in the legal system.
Meanwhile, in a hospital a little five year old boy died, allegedly at the hands of his mother. The term "Munchausen syndrome by proxy" has been mentioned in reports, but what caught my attention, was the medical history of this child. The child was five days old when he was first taken to the hospital for ear infection and high fever. At ten weeks, it was something else. Medical records indicate the child had been hospitalized 23 times in his short life, yet that raised no flags for intervention? The following paragraph was taken from an article linked below.
>>>The Florida Department of Children and Families revealed in April that they've had a file on Spears since 2011, when an anonymous call voicing concerns about her parenting was made to their abuse hotline.
And prior to that, in 2009 while the family lived in Alabama, Garnett suffered severe seizures and had to be flown by helicopter to a Decatur hospital and resuscitated.<<<
How does the same "system" knowingly allow one child to be returned to a potentially dangerous situation and just "keep a file," while another child is held to deteriorate in that same "system?"
Rather than just come out and say never before were the medicine men and elders of any culture the village idiots, I'll be more tactful.
Never in the history of civilization has an society sanctioned the authority of health care to poor judgment.
The Apostle Paul did sound fair warning: For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with G-d. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. I Corinthians 3:19
