Nobody Should Believe Me
Case Files 21: Rady Children’s Part 5

Yeah, and I think it's more the whole picture that comes through for these lawsuits. So it's not just the experimental neurosurgery. The other thing that comes up a ton in these lawsuits is misdiagnosing patients to justify doing the procedures. The other thing that comes up is failure to disclose the surgical risks and that these are experimental treatments, right?

So as you said, experimental treatments are a part of medicine, but you would – again, that should be something that is like a last resort after you've tried the rest of – and you're really like – in a desperate situation and there's nothing else left to try.

And certainly a doctor who's doing that should disclose to you, we've seen promising results with XYZ or however they couch it, but it should be informed consent, right?

Yeah. And then, I mean, this becomes really layered when you're talking about possible victims of munchausen by proxy, because then like, yes, for a patient, for a non-abusive parent, Then the question is, was that parent properly informed of the risks and able to make the best decision for their child?

And then when you add the layer of that parent might not be interested in what's best for their child and they might have their own ulterior motives, that then adds just this other layer of complexity that is so dark.

So the other two claims that came up across these lawsuits were using unapproved medical devices, notably this infused device, without consent. So presumably using something that they did not let patients know was not an approved medical device, which seems important.

Again, like using things off-label is something that happens all the time. I've been prescribed something off-label that was very effective. And it's sort of like one of those things where you want to be able to give people the best available care as long as there's good information about it, even if it's not yet FDA approved, because that can be a lengthy bureaucratic process.
