[quote=Anonymous]I watched this last night - I preface this with I am not a parent.  I didn't see Beata as doctor shopping, I saw the Kowalskis as advocates for their kid who was in extreme deformative pain and trying to find someone/anyone who would help her.   It helped that Beata was an RN and her documentation of the situation was, sadly, very prescient.  The family's attorneys even stated that they would not have the foundation for the lawsuit if it wasn't for all the records/recordings she kept.

That the film makers then went and interviewed a lot of other families this happened to as a result of the same doctor and private welfare contractor, also was scary.   The questionable doctor and her company have settled their portion of the lawsuit, it will be interesting to see what the result of the jury trial in September is, but I can't see it going very well for JH (since they were billing for the exact diagnosis Maya's doctors had diagnosed and treated her for), especially when Maya testifies.

If you read some of the synopsis of the case from the reporter in the film (found online), there are other things wrong with the case, especially what the social worker did regarding not getting either Maya's or her parents consent for the videotaping and stripping Maya down to her underwear to take photos.  Like I said, not a parent, but there are a lot of things that upset me about this case from both the medical and judicial/CPS systems. [/quote]
