In early March, Judge Johnson put Justina Pelletier's medical care back with Dr. Korman/Tufts

36. if you consider people's attempts to extricate themselves from their eff-ups a conspiracy, then yes

it's a conspiracy. Personally, I would call it more a coverup/snow job. I haven't read or watched anything of Glenn Beck. I don't care whether or not he's involved.

As I said, it is typical behavior. I see it all the time in the hospital where I work. I saw it all the time in my old corporate job. A mistake surfaces, and everybody scurries for cover.

I also happen to have a sister who works in family law, who used to be a judge, and before that an asst DA. So has forced children onto ritalin without a physician ever even seeing the child. As my sister, I know her history and have a good idea of her biases and motivations. That experience, frankly, doesn't give me a lot of faith in judges either.

What concerns me is the overreach by Children's, in the ED doctor refusing to consider or allow a 2nd opinion and refusing even to involve their own gastroenterologist. All of this could have been avoided had they shown the professional courtesy of talking to their own gastroenterologist and Dr. Korsen.

There's an arrogance that flourishes in certain professions, and one that certainly seems endemic to anything associated with Harvard University.
