[@angelas3872]

I agree! The hospital kept sending her home rather than keeping her in the hospital. They neglected to take care of her properly. They over medicated her with opiates too. She needed to be on IVs, antibiotics, steroid inhaler, oxygen, & monitoring her breathing & heartbeat. Not sent home with Codeine Cough Syrup (Promethazine) & an opiate suppository. Two opioid medications that suppressed her breathing while her lungs were literally being eaten by pneumonia. She had necrotic tissue in her lungs, dead rotting tissue in her lungs. The doctor should have ordered chest X-rays, or if they already had in the beginning, they should have taken more to show the pneumonia & the patient’s condition had gotten worse. The X-rays would show the pneumonia spreading in the lungs. Every time I or a family member ever had gotten sick with a really bad cough, they snapped chest X-rays. I looked at the X-rays & could see my lungs had white spots from pneumonia, instead of black spaces should be showing clear lungs. Chest rads are really easy to figure out for anyone with the slightest medical knowledge. A Veterinarian Technician could look at the X-rays & see there was a major problem. Children & Elderly patients are much more vulnerable to pneumonia, so the hospital should have immediately checked her in! Yes, I believe the hospital is guilty of malpractice & tried to pass the buck onto the father. He wasn’t even there during one of his daughter’s respiratory distress incidents. Wasn’t it the hospital that called the law & CPS on the father. Maybe it was the hospital pushing for his arrest & indictment by saying things that made the father look bad, since they didn’t check this toddler into their hospital & basically sent her home to die & didn’t hospitalize her until he brought her back again.

[@Brembelia]

​@angelas3872 This is what you get with medical privatization, HMOs, Insurance medicine, and overall corporate medicine. You get junk medical care. What makes anyone think that businessmen, who only care about profits, bottom lines, cutting corners, buy low sell high, care anything about the delivery of top notch medicine? Our medical doctor community has been flooded with foreign doctors, primarily from conservative countries who have the same political values as the MAGA Right. I haven't had or even seen a Anglo physician since I was a child. How is this explained? We need to stop corporate privatization. Once a corporation gets a hold of a company, they drain its assets and reduce it to its lowest functioning capabilities, if not destroy it out of existence altogether. This has been going on for decades.

I'm not sure we need celebrities coming forward. Their #1 priority is their own narcissism and glory. There are plenty of respectable Psychologists and Psychiatrists who have much better credentials than "Dr" Oprah Phil.

[@angelas3872]

Not Celebrities! They are Woke Morons! Dr Phil is qualified, not because he is a celebrity, but because of his education & massive experience & intellect. Obviously it doesn’t hurt because of his star power, but his show is serious & educational, not so much for entertainment.

@@jstsayn9133Dr Phil no longer answers to Oprah. He is syndicated & is too popular to be canceled by the likes of Oprah. He is qualified too. He has decades of experience & knowledge under his belt.

LOTS (too much) evidence is withheld from trials/juries. Recently it seems juries base their decisions more on feelings vs facts & evidence. Many judges don’t seem to care & MOST DA’s don’t prove their case, are corrupt & ONLY want the W!

Scientific results do not lie. As well as medical errors have been documentated, regarding medicine given to the child, when it was written--not to give to a child under 2 yrs old, & given twice, with second dose of medicine having codeine in it. This man did not get a fair trial, like Dr Phil said, because of of a misdiagnosis & no proper attorney knowledge, of the client & medical knowledge not being provided during the trial by his attorney.

Most people don’t understand that it is extremely easy for prosecutors and judges to wrongly convict innocent people. It’s a huge problem in America. When evidence of innocence or Brady (withheld evidence) comes to light, the prosecution and judges will do almost everything to ignore, and have the conviction remain in place

My son is now 21 . When he was a month old , I was walking behind lex tran bus terminal in Lexington KY . If we didn't get off there we would have missed the bus. If your child was in a stroller ,you had to take them out and carry them. Well as I'm walking I step off the curb wrong fall and my son falls out of my arms and him the ground . We call the ambulance and they come and go to the UK hospital. The exam him SHAKEN BABY , didn't believe that fell even though I had scratches on my knee and arms etc. he did have some swelling because he did hit the ground. They put these paper clips things on his eyes to test them. They wanted to take him and my 5 year away because CPS thought I was a black woman with the same name as me 😮. My dad had to tell the director DUDE SHE'S WHITE NOT BLACK. my kids were released that day. He was diagnosed with SHAKEN BABY and didn't have it at all
