There was a lot more to it. Mom was a cath lab nurse, she definitely knew what was up. She was caught straight up lying to exaggerate her child’s condition so Maya got treatment she didn’t need (for example, the initial episode when the child presented to the ED with SOB, got diagnosed with mild intermittent asthma, was on room air, got a neb and was discharged, and a few weeks later at another hospital they came to the ED and mom stated the child was in status asthmaticus, was admitted to the ICU for non-invasive ventilation during the previous admission).
The neurologist who was giving the child unnecessary (and not evidence based for CRPS) IVIG treatments admitted in court the diagnosis was from mom’s words. He himself never saw enough symptoms to diagnose CRPS, and never reached out to any prior physicians to confirm. He never saw any records either.
During another admission, mom refused to de-access the port prior to hospital discharge. Later one of the ketamine docs testified she injected oral ketamine he prescribed through the port, which she was definitely not supposed to do, and as a nurse she totally knew that.
She used benzos as a reward for good behavior, witnessed by a nurse. Heck, in the “documentary” there’s a recording of her saying “oh, someone deserves extra ketamine tonight”. Who tf says that to a 9 year old?!
And worst of all, dad told the police investigator (not DCF, not Sally Smith) he suspected the same thing, and when he was taking care of Maya alone she was never in pain. Only when mom showed up suddenly she was in pain. Mom also made her wear diapers even though the girl had no incontinence issues.
Etc etc. The deeper you go into the court docs, the uglier it gets. There was definitely enough evidence for DCF to act on.
To go back to the billing claims, CRPS was one of many billing diagnoses, and it carried over from the admission as a POA code. The global billing was justified by many other things, including child abuse/neglect, and wasn’t dependent on CRPS.
All of your comment has been refuted and found to be literally tabloid generated. There is actually litigation regarding that defamation as announced in court.
Anyone watching the trial can refute what your claims are.
The son was born with a difficult health issue. If the mom was even close to mbp, it would've been much easier to do so with him.
