And, again, I just really encourage everyone.
You know, I think a good takeaway from this case, right, is, like, if you see something, say something.

And you never know if your report is going to be the first report or if it's the 11th or if it's one โ
small piece of the puzzle and it doesn't get acted on right away.
Like it all still matters to an investigation like this, doesn't it?
Yeah, and what, I mean, just to, you know, we know about obviously the Benadryl.
This child was subjected to a number of unnecessary surgeries, as we mentioned, you know, kind of the ones that we see a lot, the feeding tube, the TPN, all the nutrition stuff.

And it looks like she had maybe a family friend who was prescribing some of these medications.
A doctor did not put nail polish remover in this child's life.
Yeah.
