      There isn't much you can do for a kid with kidney failure besides dialysis and wait for a transplant. My friend's sister was on the list for months and got sicker the whole time. None of her family was a match but thankfully they found one. Dad goes to Mom's house and sees his sick kid with kidney disease and blames the Mom and not the disease, and has made it clear he had no idea how the disease was managed or what the kid needed. They don't really say how long the kid was missing, like if the Dad was hiding the kid for a while but he got sicker, or if the Dad immediately drove the kid to the hospital because he didn't think the Mom was doing enough, but considering the BOLO was already out, I wouldn't be surprised if the Dad intended to hide and keep the kid permanently but he missed some medication or was given food high in salt that would have made his condition deteriorate even more, then Dad panicked. The only thing I see that is definitely the Mom's fault is not getting the Dad tested as donor but she may have been prevented from doing that while he was incarcerated, and before he was kidnapped the kid might not have been sick enough it was an immediate concern. They don't say why the Dad was incarcerated but even if it was low-level/nonviolent, the mom may still have a good reason for wanting an unstable and infrequent presence out of her sons life. Also, I have a bunch of relatives in healthcare and they've told me stories of family, usually Dads or Grandmothers, who decide that a chronically ill kid's disease can't really be that bad (Kid or Mom or Doctor must be exaggerating) and the treatment is what is actually making them sick, so they find a way to stop it by skipping a kid's doses/appointments, or they impose their own "treatment", and then they're shocked that kid gets way worse very quickly, so maybe I'm biased when I see one parent did the lionshare of caregiving and the other has no idea what to do but still thinks they will do it better. It's like the opposite of munchausen by proxy.

      @@calleythompson2781 i get the feeling you didn't really pay attention to anything in the clip. he said mom was supposed to be handling dialysis but wasn't. he also said he saw how sick his son was and that's why he grabbed him and immediately took him to the hospital. a BOLO (or more likely in this case, an AMBER alert) would have been issued as soon as he took off. the staff said if he was trying to avoid getting caught he wouldn't have taken the kid in. they don't say what the dad did that sent him to prison in the first place or why there was a protective order against him but the mom was clearly dead-set against involving dad in son's care in any capacity, including testing for organ donor matching. maybe she was depressed because of her son's diagnosis and was just waiting for him to die, who knows. the fact that you have personal experience with a parent deciding a child's illness doesn't actually need treatment and you pin that on the dad who took him to the hospital instead of the mom who was skipping dialysis is astonishing to me. also, denying treatment so they can continue getting attention for how gravely ill the kid is also fits munchausen by proxy.

      It’s less about the reputation. Like she implied, hospitals and such are federally required to maintain certain statistics of care to keep things like accreditations, grants, and more. These things allow the hospital to serve the community in the first place. If they lose accreditation then they can’t help ANY patients.

      That’s technically neglect not endangerment. It’s not endangerment as he was a felon while she was simply the boys mother. It doesn’t make her right and the fact that she didn’t makes her case a whole lot worse. He was a known dangerous man with a child so they had no other choice but to call it endangerment, they had no clue what he was going to do, even then he would be arrested for violating parole and probably some other stuff.

    Logic is nothing without being tempered with compassion and love. That lady was focused on the logical choice which was ethically good for the hospital as she treated it as a business. What she needed to realize what drove in money to the hospital and what the purpose of the hospital was, to serve people. It wouldve been the morally correct choice to save the child and keep the father even if it meant he couldnt be indicted. Now because of the ethicaly correct choice the father is dead, both couldve survived if some compassion was shown. I know its a show but this can happen in real life, and many higher ups treat hospitals as businesses and not places for healing and treatment as the top priority.

Don't ever think that a hospital is there to save your life. Always remember that hospitals are a BUSINESS first and foremost. They make money out of how many patients lives they can save, and keep quiet about those who died at their premises. They will do ANYTHING to avoid a malpractice lawsuit, even discrediting the victim and his family if necessary. Beneath their facade of being helpful and saving lives lie ruthless beauracracy.

      The problem wasn’t that he couldn’t see his son. The problem is that as soon as the dad was medically fit, ie not dying, he would be incarcerated and have to recover in prison. Prison is an extremely high risk area to have to recover from medical surgery from or any sort of wound, and therefore he would have a high risk of secondary infection/death that would lead to worse statistics for the hospital.

      Actually what he did was the best thing he could have done that was within his power to save his son.
      If he just wounded himself, he would have been transfered out as soon as he was legally "medical stabled" which the standards for are quite low. His son would have most likely died in the scenario since no kidney would have been available.
      The only was to either wait to hear from another hospital that was willing to the transplant and hope he wouldn't be incarcerated or make his "available" to be used.

      @Liamzilla4777 Рік тому

      Kidneys don't heal back, unlike the liver, where if you donate a section of it, that section will grow back, while the section that got donated will grow into a full liver. Kidneys can't be sectioned off, each individual is born with two, and they play a role in body by converting unusable and toxic materials into urine. If you lose one, you have to watch what you eat, and losing the other means death unless you find a donor. With all that, I'd say liver surgery might be safer.
