Mom of Sick Connecticut Teen 'Collapses' in Court After Judge Sends Kid to Foster Care

27. the ER physician at Children's started this

and I don't believe any ER physician is qualified to diagnose a disease this complex. They don't have the time or the testing available.

I suspect that this is, in part, a case of covering up initial errors in judgement, rather than admitting a poor decision at the outset. Circling the wagons, so to speak.

And the fact is that the psychiatrists at Children's do potentially have another motive. This policy is shocking, but the link comes straight from Children's.
