The idea is it's our body's outward manifestation of something that is psychologically troubling or so inside stressors or other things, external stressors that are kind of manifesting themselves with physical physical symptoms. And the thing is, vision loss can be a version of a functional neurologic disorder where all of the testing is normal, but the patient truly cannot see.

I mean, in their head, they do not see. Or in their head, they do not feel their left arm or whatever it is. The thing is, there is no physiologic reason for the symptoms. And so that's the idea with these events, these psychogenic non-epileptic events. So psychogenic meaning, again, it's stemming from something within us that is manifesting physically.

And then it's non-epileptic, meaning they've been captured on this EEG where you're being put on and it's recording your brainwaves and it was not epileptic. So it is not coming from your brainwaves. And then again, that word seizure is, technically means those abnormal movements, but realistically in medicine, when you say seizure, it is assumed you mean of the epileptic variety.

So that's why now we're changing it to events. And I think that is an important distinction too, because even in this story, it's One of the claims made in the report to DCF or to their HHSA in California was that parents are claiming diagnoses that were rolled out. And so continuing to say she had seizures, despite it being explained that these were not true seizures. Got it.

And then also at Kaiser LA is when she gets an NJ tube. So now we're escalating nose all the way down into the jejunum or into the intestines to feed her. So that to me implies that something was not going well when they were feeding her stomach.

To normal, yep, to treatments. And this is a kid who ate normally before. So again, where did we go? How are we here now? And then her first central venous catheter is also placed during that time. Maybe it was placed for the ketamine and then stayed in. That's, that I don't know because there's not a lot of detail. Okay.

So I think we both know that this escalation in GI is a big piece and is very concerning. And even I think Kaiser LA got concerned, wow, this is escalating. And so the ketamine didn't work, which was really why they were brought into the equation. And so she gets sent back to Kaiser San Diego.
