if you ever...

Have had situations with you health care system that has grounded the way for your ptsd, or if you have had gravely ill children that you only want to survive for all of your heart and your child is taken away from you, just because of that...then this documentary may be kinda strong on the emotions, and you might crash your tv set and start writing hate mail at an instant to the culprits of this series.

I have children myself, my youngest where born with a hard to diagnose kinda asthmae, that almost killed our baby, and we were also accused for not being enough parental, or understanding over the care plans made for our small one. Us parents, both medical nurses, had a string of verbal disputes with the ''uber-doctor'' at the local childrens ward, a ward that stuffed our young one with ephedrine to stop the cough, and that our child definately had no asthmae.

Almost dead we demanded our child transferred to rikshospitalet /voksentoppen asthmae and allergy in children ward in oslo , norway, who at first glance diagnozed his condition and had a hell of a fight over 3 acute weeks to stabilize our child instable condition, and further on settled a treatment plan ( that where so medically heavy that our home uberdoctors eyes nearly sprung out of their sockets when viewing the treatment journal)for the child and us parents + siblings, a cooperation that went on for 12 years with great success, and i thank my wifes ''munchausenic'' efforts that i still have my child safe and sound, still profylacting with medication in his twenties...

''I got the power'' sings the song, and in ultraweird cases as with justina and her family, its a wonder that they still are able to hang together... just think about her other siblings situation up in all this calamity, they have been scarred too, as well as the whole pelletier family... and they have not been rehabilitated economically for the wrongdoings done towards them...its unbelievable, and worse than the inquisitional courts of the medevals...

so be hysterical as a mum or dad if you have a sick child thats being slung around in the health care system where care from the givers becomes a threat to your existence... i wouldve wrung somebodys head off if i had to go that route over again.

So take care over there my dear pelletiers, its a heck of a battle done , and a dire future may come, but thy shall overcome, my acclamations goes to you...and a little bit to the documentary makers, and a big reccomend from the grumpy old man.
