what a horrible horrible story.  and after all that, they put the kid in foster care, instead of with his father?  hopefully that's just some technicality and he can get custody.

From the sound of it, the courts had taken away his rights because he had repeatedly denied that the child was dying.

HBO used to have agreat series on that guy Michael Bahden, the medical examiner. I remember a story on there about a chick like this, killed several of her kids, claiming SIDS, because she liked the attention

I remember that one. She only got caught after it happened to her adopted son too, right?

Rings a bell, I think that is how she got caught. 

Not to derail the thread, but that series was great. Anyone reading this thread would dig it. A bunch of stories like the dumb C word in the article above.

Yeah, that’s the one. What a messed up lady.

The series was a good series, you’re right. If I recall correctly, in one episode he went over the murder that would later be referenced in the Toadies song Possum Kingdom, and I couldn’t help but play it while watching.

I think a fair punishment would be to bill this evil mom what must be by now millions of dollars in insurance payments to the doctors and hospitals, and garnish her future wages or disability checks to get the money.

But, they probably can't do that. So just let her sit in a prison cell for 40 years.

i think there's a reasonable case for sterilization here, too.

i'm wondering about the failure of the medical personnel that gave this kid 13 surgeries. the different tests they should have run should have eliminated most if not all of the need for any of them.

Sounds like she would refuse certain tests and withhold medical records to manipulate the providers. Also, some of the conditions were legit but caused by the other fake shit she was forcing, like the infections due to the feeding tube.

Dont remember that one.

If anyone is interested, looks like this series in on youtube. If youre interested in this kind of stuff, its definetely worth it.

Munchausen's by Proxy.  So fucked up.  I've had to deal with Munchausen's before.  But hurting someone else instead of themselves is so disgusting. 

And only women do it, btw.

I worked with a woman years ago who had this. She was addicted to surgery, chased all over town until she found doctors who would operate on her.

$$$$$$

Yep.

This story is crazy, and is (hopefully) just one outlying example of how far doctors and diagnosticians will go to make money. 

But it's important to remember that a lot of doctors are little more than white collar drug dealers. My mom is an addict, and has been all of her life, but she's used doctors for her drugs.  It's ubiquitous. Just look at the opiate stuff. Some of it is black market, but for millions of addicts, those drugs didn't prescribe themselves. 

If you look around at your dr's office, you'll probably find indicators that they lean heavily towards several of the new trendy drugs with the weird names and all of the grotesque side effects. I assume they or their HMO/PPO get some sort of kickback from the drug company for it.
