Thank you jaunty-girl. Like so many here, I just want to see that the best thing happens for Justina. I am bothered by a lot of the inaccuracies and out right falsehoods that are spread by the family and by their representatives - specifically the Liberty Counsel and Rev Mahoney. They are not...
Thank you. That is a quote that I did not recall seeing. I may not have paid much attention to it as definitive because it also states: "We’re happy to be helpful, but a lot of things do need to be worked out,” said Jette." Details may have changed since then but it is Certainly...
Very few hospitals provide the type of true multidisciplinary approach that you have described for every hospitalization. In fact it is the exception rather then the rule. The Mayo Clinic stands out as one example of a hospital that does do this. This is such a desirable model that it is very...
I'm curious. What is the exact date on that video? Is your assertion that it is a dated video based on an embedded date stamp or claims made by the family during interviews that she could ice skate 6 weeks before admission to BCH?
Please provide a link to a msm citation that states that Dr Korson is a "key player" in the newly developed Tufts Medical Center care plan.
The "A Miracle For Justina" Facebook page - run by Jennifer Pelletier - stated Just last week in a post by Jennifer that the family had not yet informed...
You do not know that it is the same team that treated Justina previously or even if Dr Korson has any part in Justina's current care. It is curious that the parents or their spokesperson did not joyfully announce that Justina was back under Dr Korson's care since they have been waiting so long...
That would not be a reason to cancel a Liberty Counsel / Pelletier family press conference. They have repeatedly expressed distrust for the MA DCF. That has never seemed to stop a press conference or protest in the past. As far as I can tell, there is no new agreement to return custody of...
Tufts declined to review and take on this case in April 2013. They were brought back into the case by the judge's order in early 2014. I am sure this was the outcome of a lot of discussion and negotiation,
Not so hard. I don't think this case is as widely known as it would seem by reading this forum. In fact, I remember someone commenting here recently that their sister in West Hartford had been unaware of this case.
Professional psychologists and psychiatrists are trained to put aside their...
Tens of thousands of sick children are treated each year at Boston Children's hospital without any suspicion of medical abuse. Most familys that I know who have had chronically or critically ill children treated at BCH have been happy with and grateful for their child's care.
On the other...
The Liberty Counsel has put out a press release stating that the meeting with the medical team from Tufts went well. Attorney Richard Mast stated on video (discussed below) that the meeting with the medical team went well. He described it as "cordial." There were no statements that Dr Korson...

"- Lawyers for the Pelletier family will file a new motion tomorrow, noting the change in circumstances resulting from Justina's transfer to Connecticut
and requesting an immediate...
According to various media sources, the parents' representatives have said that the parents have an appointment on 5/30 (today) with DCF and the Tufts medical team. It will be interesting to see if the family releases the Tufts medical care plan that has been developed after Justina's recent...
Quite obviously a lot went wrong. Dr Flores was not in the hospital at 4 AM on a Sunday morning in the middle of a snowstorm. Dr Flores was not expected to be there because he was not on call that particular day. There is no reason for a patient to expect that a specific doctor will...
There are more then 40 attending physicians in Gastroenterology at BCH. (That is not counting residents and fellows.) The chance of walking in unannounced and getting the doctor "you want" is slim - at best.
I am not sure that she was at the Tufts ED during this specific illness at all. She was at Connecticut Children's Hospital from 2/4/13 to 2/8/13. Her family contacted Dr Korson's office - apparently on Saturday 2/9/13. According to the Globe article, they got into the ambulance "just after...
You do realize that this was not a hospital to hospital transfer at all? Justina was brought from her home in CT (100 miles in the middle of the night, on a weekend, during a snowstorm) to Boston Children's Hospital.
She may of may not have had any sort of viral syndrome. The parents never...
Julia just turned 20. She is a full time college student and she lives at home. It is doubtful she would be awarded custody.
Jennifer is approximately 22 or 23. She is an ice skating instructor and competitor. It is not clear if she lives at home or on her own, but she has been a strong...
