not very clear exactly what symptoms she was describing but the test that was ordered is what's called a swallow study and a swallow study is you go down to the radiology suite there's usually a speech therapist or an occupational therapist and you drink liquids eat foods that are tagged with a certain dye d-y-e dye so that um you can watch it go down and the idea is you want to make sure the swallow mechanism is intact that they're able to pass it from their mouth to their esophagus and then that it passes down through to the stomach

And there are pieces of this. Again, it's not just a routine abdominal x-ray, but there is no anesthesia involved, no sedation involved, side effect risk, no pain. I mean, again, if she's having pain when swallowing, sure, but then the study would end. You know, it's not necessarily you wouldn't push through significant symptoms, I don't think, at least in my experience.

But the idea is she was swallowing contrast and that there were pictures being taken. So I'd be interested, I think, to hear what people think or maybe since you're not in this field, what you think about that. But the point is, it depends really what the hospital, I think what their policy is and then what the court orders said and how those two things play into each other.

um it sounds like there was another a number of other procedures yeah yeah yeah and i mean again this kind of reading this did make me think a little bit more about about the things we do and kind of what standard of care what falls under that you know general medical consent that the parents sign at the beginning

And a lot of times in pediatrics, to be honest, parents are present or a family member is there just because of the nature of a child being in the hospital, but there are times they can't be. And so just really thinking that out, I think, especially when I'm talking to residents in the future, kind of about notifying and keeping parents in the loop.

And I think there are parents that can't be at the bedside for other reasons, you know, work, other children, life, things that they can't necessarily be there and that we're sure we're kind of giving them the same, you know, involvement in the care as if they were within reason too.

um okay so yeah so take us back take us back to the timeline okay so um this is the window of time where we really lose eyes on madison if you want to say it that way or that there's not a lot in the court documents probably because this is the parents that we're talking about now and they're filing with the courts and they weren't at the bedside right so i think there is some um some information we don't have during this time but just so we know she is
