And yet some of these children that I have met, I'm saying over my whole career, that are developmentally normal, who could excel in a normal classroom, who these parents do fight to get them these services. But there are only so many services to go around. These things are finite. And it is not just they may have a wheelchair.
They may have the wheelchair embroidered with the child's name, with all of the newest things, with these things that money does not come out of the equation. There is some piece of that. And the number of times I have fought for a patient who needs to get a G-tube, but whether it makes sense for that family socially, economically, and yet... Other people can come in and demand one and get one.
It's really the system is it is entering scary levels. And I think, again, we will see how this case specifically plays out. But this does bring into question, I think, a lot of what we do in medicine in terms of
So trying to get a child home and trying to get a child to function and trying to get a child to be as childlike or as like be as much of a child as they can, if we are working against each other in that, we're going to hit impasses, I think, on all of these things. Yeah. And the next couple of claims, it's the Monell related claims or claim seven and eight.
That is the exact same claims, this idea of the medical procedures, the deception of evidence, but taken to the level of policy. And are there policies that basically promote these things or are there not policies to prevent these things?
Right. And then the ninth claim is the UNRWA Civil Rights Act. This is, again, speaking to if you are in a business in California, they shouldn't be able to discriminate against you. So the idea of the hospital as a business and therefore the same claims just under a different act.
And then the last claim that Madison brings in this third complaint, the 10th claim that she brings is denial of access to medical and mental health records.
And this is a very short claim and it doesn't give a lot of detail, but basically the statement is that she herself made multiple requests for a complete copy of her records and that there has been refusal on the side of Rady's and the medical defendants in this case. to not comply with these requests.
Again, I think at this point, this one is going to be probably he said, she said, or they can go back to any email communications and kind of see what holds water. But this to me, I mean, again, I think curious to see where it goes, because if this was done all legally and she was requesting the records, you know, where does that line cross? And I think depends on the state.
It depends on the county. It depends on the institution, all of those specific policies.
So now this is where we are today.
So there's the county and their defendants, Rady and their defendants. And so from what I could see, again, it was I just looked last night. They have just filed a general dismissal of all claims. And so that's the last document in the court doc right now. I don't know if they're going to come back specifically with each individual claim as they did yesterday.
With some of the parents complaints or they're kind of trying to kind of close this on a bigger picture point. And then that's where it stands. So I think.
At least now on this claim itself. And so I think we will know now, I think, how it goes forward as far as the delineation, which this gets into some of the legalese of which plaintiffs are claiming each. Like, you know what I mean? Is it still going to be parents have claims and Madison has claims? Is all of that going to be combined?
And then which defendants will be potentially taken off completely, which can happen? Will they combine defendants or and then which of these counts will actually even happen? stand at the end. And so this is, I think, a very, very important part of this process is where we stand today with, I don't know what the timeframe that the judge has to come back with their response.
But it sounds like that's going to be then what goes forward. And that will be the point at which they determine if this is going to head forward into trial or settlement or kind of where it goes from there.
those of you who were with us on the first episode will remember. So Madison is the patient that we're talking about this time, Madison Meyer. And where we left off was she had been suffering mainly from shoulder dislocations, then admitted to the hospital in pain, began to have kind of different and changing symptoms throughout that course.
And then where we left off was she was about to be taken to New York and to see a specialist or a neurosurgeon who specializes in Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, which if you remember, she was diagnosed with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. And she had now been at Kaiser San Diego, Kaiser LA, and back to Kaiser San Diego.
And at this point, she's going to be transferred to a hospital in New York where this neurosurgeon, Dr. Paolo Bolognese, practices and where he sees patients.
And I agree. And I think what happened during other cases we've covered is that patients who truly suffer from these conditions and have symptoms
