The way I understand it, she was being treated for mitochondrial disease by Tufts Medical Center. She got the flu and it was suggested she go to Children’s Hospital for treatment which she did. From there, the Children’s doctor said she did not have mitochondrial disease and contacted the state child protection service which had the girl taken away from her parents.
It doesn’t make sense but that’s it.
Megyn Kelly is following it on Fox News.
I am glad that Megyn Kelly is reporting on it, but nobody is covering the details like Glenn Beck. The father made his first public statements on the issue on Glenn’s radio and TV shows.
This is actually far worse than most know. I have not seen Megyn’s coverage but Beck is keeping it as his top story following.
The reason Justina was sent to Boston Children’s Hospital was because the gastroenterologist that was previously at Tuff’s was now at Boston. They were never able to see him - when they got to Boston, some other doctor (7 months out of medical school) interceded and made the alternate diagnosis within 12 hours.
One of my friends was diagnosed with Juvenile Diabetes at an early age. She had to stay on a strict diet all throughout her childhood. Later, her mother admitted that she fabricated the diagnosis.
The mother admitted it after she herself was diagnosed with a disease that sent her immediately into a wheelchair. One day she was walking around town, the next day she was unable to walk ever again.
That was because the doctor she had been seeing at Tufts had moved to BCH. But when she turned up at BCH, the quacks who admitted her refused to allow her to see her former Tufts doctor.
