You know, procedures, diagnostic testing, nothing that they shouted out in this lawsuit sounded particularly invasive to me. I think the most invasive thing they mentioned was a swallow study, which again, is not a procedure that has any pain associated with it or anesthesia.
but that they were saying that this was, you know, without the consent of the parents during a time when the parents did not have custody of the child. So I think there's a lot of tension around that too.

And even, you know, when we were talking about this with Dr. Becks, who is a pediatric hospitalist, you know, she was saying that there's, you know, even in a, not a custody dispute situation, but when the parents are at the hospital,

they make reasonable efforts to get their consent on certain things, but there are certain things that, you know, the doctor's there, they're doing their rounds, they're doing routine testing. You know, there are certain sort of group of things that it doesn't make sense to have parental sign off on everything. And that there does have to be essentially trust with providers, right?

Like this is a very, this relationship, I mean, this could not be more central to what we talk about on this show, but like, that parents have to be able to trust providers and providers have to be able to trust parents. And I really worry about the damage that a lawsuit and the surrounding media coverage of a lawsuit like this does to that bond. And what are your thoughts on that?

Yeah. So I want to talk about some of the details, and this really gets into another area of your expertise. And I wanted to talk about some of the details of what we know was covered on this video surveillance, because again, you know, this is another situation where we have the lawsuit itself and what we can kind of divine from that.

And because this has not gone to any kind of trial yet, you know, we don't have Madison, the child's medical records, but I did sort of go through this with a fine-tooth comb seeing what details we could pick out. And one of the things that really caught my eye is that they said that they talked about some of the stuff that was allegedly captured on this video recording.

And one of the things that they mentioned was that Madison was allegedly seen tampering with her own feeding tube. The lawsuit also mentions that there was some concern from a number of providers, including those at Rady Children's, that Madison was fabricating some of her symptoms.
