Diagnosis from BCH, what else?
There is no proof Dr. Korson suggested Justina see a doctor at another hospital or that Dr. Flores was currently Justina's GI specialist.
The only thing I find unbelievable are the "facts" invented by the parents.

Well it's been published in numerous msm sources and that's all I can say on this matter. You can believe it or not. It makes no difference to me.
Dr. Flores is with BCH.
Big Foot sightings have also been reported in the MSM.
It's the source & content that's important...not the media outlet reporting it. IMO

Just because a claim was published doesn't mean it was true. The Judge had quite a bit to say on the matter of whether the parents were fit.
I believe the Judge and apparently so does the msm which stopped providing the parents a platform to spew lies about a system that has done the job it was designed to do. It's refreshing to find a case where our CPS has successfully intervened. Bravo!!! to the selfless professionals who circled to protect the child!!!!!!!!
It's amazing how quickly the media will change its tone after actual facts come to light. Apparently Tufts was concerned about a number of "issues" that needed to be resolved in the form of a legal agreement with the parents. I think the first item on the list was to stop publicly claiming a Tufts doctor told them to get a referral at BCH.
Department of Children and Families officials said Pelletiers visits at Tufts will take place soon, now that the parents reached an agreement with Tufts over a number of issues.

Which media changed its tone? That article is not exactly most recent, and you have no clue what kind of issues or agreement the parents were discussing.
Considering DCF has custody, it also makes no sense to me why parents were the ones reaching any sort of agreement with Tufts.
He used to be in Tufts but moved to BCH. He isn't the one who diagnosed her with somatoform, so what difference does it make that he is with BCH?
The article I posted is from the Boston Globe. Perhaps you don't wish it to make sense but I have no problem understanding it. The article is not flattering to the parents and specifically mentions threats made to workers and to institutions by a parent.
Tufts clearly had issues with the parents that required a legal agreement be reached prior to their seeing the child again, even though they treated her previously.
Just another consequence to the parents' actions and accusations.

What we know is that DCF has custody. DCF has allowed Justina to be seen by Dr. Korson at Tufts. Parents do not appear to be in position to make any legal agreements as they do not have custody. From what Justina's father said, Dr. Korson is not allowed to inform the family on the results of his examination of Justina. Again, because parents don't have custody.
The parents claimed the Judge only listened to BCH and claimed the doctor never examined Justina after she arrived at BCH. Both claims are baseless and totally unbelievable. I'm just waiting for their free lawyers to finally realize the parents are right wing nuts.
Parents claim the doctor they came to see (Dr. Flores) never examined her after she arrived at BCH. Do you have any evidence to the contrary? So how can you claim it's baseless and totally unbelievable if you got no evidence to the contrary?
There is no proof he didn't suggest it.
You don't have to believe the parents. By the same token I don't have to believe all of the statements from DCF.
The article quotes DCF as stating Tufts had issues with the parents that needed to be resolved prior to seeing Justina again. If the parents don't wish to reach an agreement, Tufts is not under any obligation to see or treat Justina. Dr. Korson has to abide by federal health privacy laws. The media knows that and so does the father.
Like I already said, I don't have to believe all the statements made by DCF. Tufts hasn't commented on what kind of agreement they supposedly had to reach with the parents. Parents who don't have custody so, again, I have no clue why parents would be the ones reaching agreements instead of DCF.
Of course you don't but your disbelief isn't going to change the Judge's opinion or the opinion of the public that the parents are unfit.
It's impossible to prove something didn't happen. The Judge didn't believe the parents and believed all the statements from DCF. Do I believe the father threatened a social worker to the point of needing reassignment? Absolutely.
The parents can stick a fork in their ridiculous public opinion campaign to vilify BCH and DCF. It's over now that the truth is out.

What public opinion? Do you consider your own opinion the same shared by all public? I am just curious as to where you are getting these ideas on public opinion, so please provide links to these claims.
The public opinion Daddy was counting on to "win" until the Judge shut down the sale of his snake oil and declared him an unfit parent.

"A Facebook page was set up to fund raise for the Pelletier family and has more than 4,000 "likes." It says that authorities have "exerted unchallenged control over all aspects of Justina's health care and her life" and "executed the traumatic separation of Justina from her family, friends."
"We are David, not against Goliath, but against two Goliaths –- Boston Children's Hospital and the State of Massachusetts," Lou Pelletier told ABCNews.com. "To me it's a hopeless cause and the only way to win is in the court of public opinion."

03/25/2014:
The judge’s ruling reinforces his earlier decision that the state child protection agency met its burden, during closed-door juvenile court hearings late last year, of proving the Pelletiers were unfit to handle their child’s complex needs and should not be restored custody of their child.
