Update on the Munchhausen story: here are two accounts from trusted sources in the Toldot Aharon community, as to what really happened: Hadassah is starting to look worse and worse, the more I read.

B"H

To all,

Tonight I received additional information about the Chareidi mother accused of starving her child, and diagnosed as suffering from Munchhausen syndrome,  which turned out to be just that, a made-up diagnosis, a story, or CONFABULATION in medical lingo.

- incidentally, CONFABULATION COULD IN AND OF ITSELF BE A SYMPTOM OF A  MENTAL ILLNESS: SO LET ME ASK YOU, WHO IS MENTALLY ILL HERE, IS IT THE HOSPITAL STAFF, OR IS IT THE MOTHER? -

Sarcasm aside, I hope you had a chance to read the scholarly article about Munchhausen syndrome, and to see what a vague diagnosis it is, extensively abused by doctors and hospitals for all sorts of dubious reasons and situations, with disastrous results to the family.

First of all, here is a letter I received from Ch., who herself received this information from a person in the community. Please read it, and see how the media has distorted the facts.

I must say that this version speaks very clearly to me, as a physician with over 20 years of clinical practice . If it is true that Hadassah hospital does not want the patient to be transferred to another hospital, it means only one thing to me: THEY DO NOT WANT OTHER DOCTORS TO READ THE CHART, BECAUSE THEY REALIZE THEY HAVE DONE SOMETHING THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE DONE, EITHER THROUGH NEGLIGENCE, OR DELIBERATELY. LET'S ASSUME IT IS NEGLIGENCE; EVEN SO, THE HOSPITAL IS PROBABLY AFRAID OF A MALPRACTICE SUIT, AND THAT IS WHY THEY ARE TRYING TO KEEP THEIR DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF THE PATIENT A SECRET.

This woman needs a good lawyer who could request the chart in her name; but since the state is treating her like a criminal, she probably lost her civil rights; does that include the right to obtain medical records of her child?


After this testimony, I also included the testimony or a friend of the family who is familiar with the exact details of the case.


And finally, below, I added a testimony about Rabbi Firer, just so you can be impressed by what a knowledgeable and dedicated person this Rabbi is, and how many people he has helped in his life, both Jews and non-Jews.

Why doesn't he come forward and tell his story? Would that not be very helpful to this poor mother who has been slandered and abused?


1. From Ch.;

This entire story as is relayed to the media is blood libel: "The starvation-woman".
הסיפור בתשקורת הוא עללילות דם: "אישה המריעבה"

The Woman was released from jail into house arrest under the custody of Rabbi Freileich - my source related to me for everyone to look up what Rabbi Freileich says. See for Rav Firer:
http://www.4040.co.il/site/index.asp?depart_id=11578&lat=en

האישה ששחרררה מאת בית-המאסר למאסר-בית בבית של רב פריליך -
המקור שלי אמרה לכל אחד לקרוא מה רב פריליך אחר על הנושא. כגון:
http://www.4040.co.il/site/detail/detail/detailDetail.asp?detail_id=79153

The REAL story is this: The Child is ill (illness not disclosed), and has been in Hadassah Hospital Ein Kerem, and the Woman, his Mother, went to a rabbi for advice what to do with her son; this rabbi is Rabbi Firer, who is a well-known Rabbi who knows the medical world.

הסיפור זה ככה: הילד היה זמן מה בבית-הדסה עין-קרם, והאישה, אמו, הלך לרב ליעץ מה לעשות עם הילד; הרב פירר הוא ידוע כרב שמכיר את העולם הרפואה והרבה אנשים סומכים עליו.

Rabbi Firer told her to take the boy out of Ein Kerem and put him in a different hospital.
רב פירר אמר לה להוציא את הילד מבית-הדסה ולהביא אותו לבית חולים אחר.

ON THIS THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY, THE STATE AND THE MEDIA MAKE THEIR WAR AGAINST A JEWISH WOMAN. For some hidden reason Haddassah Ein-Kerem doesn't want the child to be released to another hospital!
על זה הקהילה הרפואה, המערכת המדינה והתשקורת עושה מלחמתם נגד אישה יהודיה. לאיזה סיבה נסתרת הדסה עין-קרם לא רוצה לשחרר את הילד לבית-חולים אחר!

When the woman tried to take her son out of Hadassah Ein Kerem they refused her efforts and this insane war of lies against her started., saying she 'starved' her child.
כאשר האישה נישאתה לקחת את בנה מעין-קרם, הם סירבו מאמציה והמלחמה האומללה של שקרים תחילה, ואמרו שהיא "רעיבה" את בנה.

Now to prove the point of "a starved boy" the medical staff at Ein Kerem are now force-feeding the child (or possibly super-hydrating him?) so that his weight Went up over 2kgs, which is soooo impressive to the media. But this terribly sudden weight-gain can ALSO BE VERY DAMAGING TO THE BOY'S BODY, as for sure the boy's body isn't USED TO ALL THAT EXTRA WEIGHT and FLUIDS (and the extra sudden weight could has v'hallila tax the entire
body's system, the kidneys, the heart...).

להכריח את ה"רעב של הילד" המערכת עין-קרם נותנים לו המון אוכל הכוח (אולי גם כן נוזלים?) אז משקלו עלתה יותר מ-שני קילו בתוך רק כמה ימים. אך, העליה פיטומי במשקל יוכל לגרום הרבה נזק למערכת הגוף, כי בוודי הגוף של הילד לא רגיל למשקל הנודף (גם משקל פיטומי כזה יכול לפגוע המערכת הכליות, הלב חס וחללה..

The hype surrounding the poor mother in this horrid scene is that tonight she was brought before a judge to explain WHY she REFUSED to go to a PSYCHIATRIC EVALUATION YESTERDAY!!! SHADES OF THE RUSSIAN
GULAG!!!

העללילת-דם שסובב את האימה המסקנה בההצגה זאת לקח אותה הערב מפני שופט: למה היא לא הופיע אתמול לבדיקת פסיקיאטרי!!!! דריגות של הגולג הרוסי!!!

THIS IS OUR STATE OF ISRAEL??? WHEN will the medical community along with all the systems involved ask orgiveness from her? And from her yeshiva "Toldot Aharon"?
זה המדינה שלנו??? מתי הקהילה הרפואה עם של המערכות יבקשו "סליחה" ממנה? ומהישיבה שלה "תולדות אהרון"?

I SUGGEST ANYONE WHO THOUGHT BADLY (even for a moment!) AGAINST HER OR HER YESHIVA, GO to Toldote Aharon and DONATE 10 Sheklim this week for KAPPARAH of bad thoughts.
אני מציעה שכל אחד שאפילו חשב לרגע אחד רע כלפיה או על ישיבתה "תולדות אהרון" ללכת לישיבת "תולדות אהרון" ולתת אותם 10 שלקים ולבקש סליחה מהם - קפרה מיד לכפר על מחשבות רעות.

Latest news: the Woman will continue being under house-arrest see: http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/Flash.aspx/168244
הצהרים: מהמשפט האישה תמשיך להיות מתחת "עצר-בית".

Be well,

Ch.



2. From X:

X was told by a friend of the family, from the community of Toldot Aharon,  that the child
was hooked up to a feeding machine in Hadassah for 1 1/2 years... fed chemo...
til the poor child couldn't keep any food down at all - (he was actually found to be vomiting also after the mother left)... because supposedly the
child had cancer. The family was finally able to confirm that their son NEVER
had cancer... ever... and the hospital realized that the truth was out... You
cannot simply pull the feeding tube out. That requires surgery. But apparently
there is some component that would fall out about twenty times a day... and
THAT is where they claim they have the mother on video... but it's a lie...

The bottom line is that the mother did not
deny her child food... that is a lie...

DS comments; from another account I read, it seems that the child was moved from room 1 to room 3, but the video camera that supposedly filmed the mother removing the feeding tube was in room 5: how did they work this magic??

The story of Meg Jones and Rabbi Firer
Stanley Sebba

 




Meg Jones,post tumour operation



MEG JONES is 21 years old and lives in the village of King's Somborn in
Hampshire, England. Her mother works in the Hampshire Department of Education
which is directed by John Clark, my brother-in-law. Two years ago she was
diagnosed with a large growth in the brain which caused epileptic seizures.
She was then a first year student at Warwick University, studying the history
of art.

I survived a similar experience four years ago when I was similarly diagnosed
but my growth was smaller and located between the brain and the skull. After
some researching, I reached Rabbi Firer in Bnai Brak. For readers who have not
heard of him, Rabbi Firer is a really extraordinary person who runs a medical
advisory service although he has no formal medical education or training.

He has made himself familiar with the world of medicine and keeps up to
date on the experts in every medical sphere. He is available to offer this advice
to every caller and appears to work 24 hours a day. Callers are sometimes asked
to call again at 02:00 in the morning. He does not charge for his advice. If
necessary, he will make an appointment to discuss details with a patient. He also
operates a medical equipment loan service, similar to Yad Sara, but he has
much more sophisticated equipment available.

In addition, Rabbi Firer operates a physiotherapy clinic which offers free
treatment to those in need.

I have discussed this extraordinary man with hospital directors who freely
admit to referring patients to Rav Firer to get advice as to the best source of
treatment. In my case, he referred me to a Japanese surgeon, Prof. Takanori
Fukushima, who works in Morgantown, West Virginia, U.S.A. After checking
with two patients in Israel who had survived operations by him, I was operated
on, and my tumor removed. The operation was so successful that my neurologist
reports that from an MRI scan he can't see any sign of the operation.

Now back to Meg. My sister and brother-in-law suggested that we meet
Meg with her parents to tell them of our experiences. We met in March 2005.
They brought medical reports with them and we were aghast to discover that
the British Medical Service had simply given up on her, that the many reports
only recommended medication to reduce the frequency of epileptic attacks which
were upsetting her studies - in short, to ease the period until the end of her
life. And she was only 19.

We exchanged notes and I offered to take her X Rays to Rabbi Firer. She
and her parents welcomed the suggestion and Rabbi Firer agreed to examine them.
After a brief and rapid examination, Rabbi Firer advised that he would like
to ask Meg's mother a few questions, which he did on the telephone. He then
advised that my Japanese surgeon was not the best choice because of the
different position of the tumor and recommended Prof. Peter Black at the
Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, U.S.A.

Meg's parents wrote to Boston, sent the X Rays to Prof. Black and received
a positive response that he could operate and was confident of success, using the
latest MRI equipment. Meg and her parents travelled to Boston and Prof.
Black was able to confirm the opinion he had written - that he was confident
that surgery would be successful. As there was a risk to Meg's sight, Meg
decided to postpone the surgery for two years so that she could complete her
BA degree. She was monitored during the period and would have had the
surgery immediately if there had been any deterioration in her condition.

Meg completed her degree in May this year and was operated on in Boston
in June. The operation was so successful that she returned home two weeks later
and has since been functioning well. (It took me six months to recover, but then
I'm not 21 years old).

When it was suggested that Meg go to Boston, it was clear that the family
did not have the means to cope with this huge expense. Friends embarked
on a local fundraising campaign which they called "Brains Trust" and registered
it as a charity. They organised all sorts of fundraising activities and raised funds
far in excess of the funds required for Meg. So they decided to use the funds
to train British surgeons in the techniques of brain surgery clearly lacking in the
U.K. In fact, they even persuaded Prof. Andrew McEvoy of the Queen's Square
Hospital for brain treatment in London to accompany them to Boston and to
participate in the operation.

So Rav Firer's advice not only saved Meg's life but also contributed to the
improvement and advance of surgery for all U.K. brain treatments. And if
Meg's mother in her Hampshire village is asked how she came to reach Prof.
Black in Boston, her reply is that she asked Rabbi Firer in Bnai Brak.


CONCLUSION:

From what I am reading here,and from what I have read so far, this strikes me as a major case of MISDIAGNOSIS AND MALPRACTICE, SPECIALLY IF HADASSAH REALLY REFUSED TO HAVE THE CHILD TRANSFERRED TO ANOTHER HOSPITAL

But truthfully, it is impossible to know all the details of the case unless one reads the chart very, very carefully, going back all the way to the day of ADMISSION TO THE HOSPITAL, over a year ago..PEOPLE WHO NORMALLY SHOULD HAVE ACCESS TO THE CHART, FOR SURE, ARE DOCTORS. ANY TREATING DOCTOR SHOULD BE ABLE TO  REQUEST TO REVIEW ALL MEDICAL RECORDS OF THE CHILD, AND THERE IS NO LEGAL REASON TO WITHHOLD THIS INFORMATION FROM ANY TREATING PHYSICIAN.

I just don't know what the law says in a case where the child has become a ward of the state:
maybe then laws are different. And maybe THAT IS the main reason the child has been removed from his parents; so that they won't have the LEGAL RIGHT TO REQUEST TO REVIEW THE CHART??

A GOOD LAWYER SHOULD BE INVOLVED, SO THAT THE CHART CAN BE REVIEWED BY AN INDEPENDENT TEAM OF DOCTORS.

Knowing the close TIES between Hadassah and Olmert, I WOULD NOT be surprised if a DEAL had been reached between doctors and the POLITICAL ECHELON, TO PROTECT THE GOOD NAME OF THE DOCTORS, in order to avoid a scandal. This would NOT be the first scandal for Hadassah Hospital;

REMEMBER THE CASE OF DASSI RABINOWITZ OF EFRAT, Z"L, years ago , WHO HAD TO BE TRANSFERRED TO THE CARE OF DR. JACOB ROWE FROM HADASSAH HOSPITAL TO RAMBAM HOSPITAL IN HAIFA?

There are excellent doctors at Hadassah Hospital,  I can say this from personal experience; but I can also say, from personal experience, that there are a couple of ROTTEN APPLES TOO...

Mistakes are often made in medicine: nobody is perfect. But to COVER UP MISTAKES by ruining the life of a family is a crime; I sure hope that did not happen, for the sake of the hospital.

יום כיפור של הדסה ואולי של כל הרפואה הישראלית

מלחמת הכל בכל המתנהלת עכשיו בין רופאי הדסה הישנים והחדשים כולל איזכורים
מלפני 20 שנה וכן הכתבה האחרונה של ד'ר דייזי שטרן מאד מערערים את הבטחון
באיבחונים הרפואיים והיותם חפים מ....שיקולים זרים.
מאד עצוב בשביל בכיר וראשון המוסדות הרפואיים המודרניים בא'י (אמנם ביקור חולים
קדם- אך 'הדסה' הביא את הרפואה אמריקאית שהיא הכי מודרנית ומדויקת מדעית)
אני מקווה שיהיו אנשים עזי נפש ורודפי יושר בין הרופאים שגם יסכימו להודות
בטעויות ,ואין כל ספק שכאן היו טעויות או הערכות שגויות.
נאחל רפואה שלימה לכל החולים, ונאחל גם שהרב פירר ימשיך להיות נערך ומכובד ולא
ינסו גם אותו להכניס לבוקה ומבולקה ולהאשימו אשמות שווא (הרב פירר תבע להוציא
את הילד מ'הדסה ' למוסד רפואי אחר- והדסה מסרבים)
אין ספק שהרופאים טועים וטועים הרבה- טוענים שבערך 30% ממקרי המוות הם מטעויות
רופאים, הם בודאי לא מחליפים את הקב'ה.
זאת לא בדיחה ,זה עצוב ,אך יחד עם שביתות הרופאים מושבתים מאד גם בחברה קדישא,
וזה כבר קרה פעמיים והיה לפלא גדול,כנאמר ה' ממית ומחיה.
אני מקווה שהמשבר הזה יחקר כהלכה ואם לא
גם בשביל זה יש סנהדרין!!!!!!!!
לבל משה
נ.ב -צריך לדעת שהמערך הרפואי- איננו בעיקר רופאים, יותר מ70% מהמערך הרפואי הם
שרותים: בדיקות , אישפוז ,מנהלה, תקשורת. הלחץ שמופעל על הרופאים בבתי החולים
ושעות העבודה שלהם הרצופות לפעמים 36 שעות ברצף- גורמים הרבה פעמים לטעויות
בשיקול דעת ובתקשורת.
באופן כללי ובממוצע ,הרופא הישראלי הוא בין הטובים בעולם ,והקרדיולוג הישראלי
נחשב לטוב ביותר בעולם.
אבל ניהול עקום יכול להרוס כל החיילים הטובים וראה הוכחה של מלחמת לבנון
השניה, שהיום ממרחק של 3 שנים ,יודעים בפרפרזה של אלוף דוד (קולונל -סטון-דוד
מרכוס) ע'ה ממלחמת השחרור: החייל מזהיר והשר מחפיר.
