Anyone watch tonight on HBO? If you like Jinx or Making a murderer you'll probably like this.

Did she know then that she was full of it? Muscular dystrophy is something that is pretty easy to call bullsh*t on if they don't have it.
I've lost count of the number of times I've called out patients for faking diseases to score either sympathy or pain medication. The most common in the area I work is faking sickle cell disease. This is due to friends and family members that have the disease telling them that they get opiate pain medication if they tell the ER they have sickle cell and are in pain.
I think the chance-of-having-a-normal-life train left the station a long time ago.Quote:

What I wasn't clear of is whether the mom and dad were already separated when all the fake diagnosis started. If not did the dad never go to any of the appointments? Did he ever raise any questions or concerns?mazzag said:RPM said:

I didn't get that impression of the dad. And I doubt this girl ever has a normal life. Like mother like daughter. I'm not saying she'd abuse her children or anything but heck even the mom's mom was a con artist. Dad never knew what he was in for. If men would learn to stay away from the BSC one night stands, there'd be less of them in the world.
I'm mostly pissed at all the cracks this girl fell thru. Antibiotics are hard to get a rx for but sure, let's insert a feeding tube based on mom's diagnosis. I've made my kids from a young age tell the dr themselves what's wrong with them. I never answer for them. Where the hell was cps? This woman stole thousands of dollars from the federal government. And abused a child.
Daughter had boyfriend, who's on the autistic scale murder her mother. Daughter was abused her entire life in a really F*ed up way by her mother. Made to think she had and was treated for all sorts of diseases and disorders she didn't have. the Mom was a real POS and got what she had coming in my opinion. The movie details the history of the Mother/Daughter, the crime and proceeding trial. The Mother daughter relationship was REALLY messed up.Quote:
Can somebody provide a summary?
