‘I still wouldn’t have given my son the vaccine’[/quote]

This kid is 1000% on Medicaid as neither parent works.

And this is easily a million dollar hospital stay as this kid is getting all sorts of expensive stuff in that ICU (plasma exchange, etc).

A million dollar hospital stay paid for by the tax payers of South Carolina because of their refusal to get a $50 MMR vaccine.

Of course she should have gotten her kid the measles vaccine, but the article  details that she took him to a local hospital when he first got sick and they did an mri that didn’t show anything and the hospital just said he needed antibiotics. [b]The mother said he was screaming and not eating and the hospital let her take him home yet maybe suggested going to a larger hospital. But the article isn’t clear why he wasn’t medically transported to the larger hospital and released him to go home.[/b]

He didn’t get better so she took him to his pediatrician who said take him to the larger hospital. Not let’s call an ambulance and transport him. So the parents drove him.

The whole situation is bizarre. Not vaccinating but then his medical care. Why didn’t he get aggressive care when he was first hospitalized? [/quote]

It says that they suggested she take him to the larger hospital but that he was so distressed they thought it better to take him home. Crazy stupid.[/quote]

Either the doctors at the smaller hospital medically determined he needed to be transported or not. Considering she actually took him later to the larger hospital, it appears the smaller hospital didn’t facilitate the transfer. Telling a parent who is ignorant to go to a larger hospital when the mri didnt show anything is useless. The kid isn’t eating and screaming in distress. Why didn’t he get better card in smaller hospital or medically transported to larger hospital?  Expecting a parent to explain everything when they drive him to to the larger hospital and go to the ER doesn’t make sense.

If he were released against medical advise there should have been an emergency CPS call made and the child should have been prevented from leaving. Or the smaller hospital should have arranged for him to be transferred by ambulance.

I think the parents are morons for not vaccinating but something is missing from this story.[/quote]
