I don't remember hearing about this case until last night, when I popped over to a health care professionals' board I visit once every few months, and there it was. My interest was piqued enough to watch the 20/20 episode on Hulu, all of it, and I have a feeling things go a lot deeper than what was just mentioned on the show. Michael had FOUR hospitalizations for what was said to be illnesses resulting from abusing supplements? (That "Biclomiphene" vial? Couldn't find a drug with that name, but clomiphene is an estrogen blocker often used to stimulate fertility in both men and women.) That lawyer and his wife, the one with the diabetic child, were probably subjected to some big-time questioning to see if they were knowing accomplices in any way.
One would think that Natalie, of all people, would have known that many insulins can actually be purchased without a prescription! She didn't need to "borrow" a prescription one, which Humalog is, from her alleged best friends. Or that if you say you have cancer, people are going to ask questions?
I, too wondered how she managed to get multiple people to sign over 6-figure retirement accounts to her, seemingly no questions asked!
Of course, the people I feel the worst for were the kids. I also wonder about her side of the family's apparent estrangement from his.
