To anyone wondering how it ends, Natalie was right about the little boy not having pneumonia and turns out he had an autoimmune disorder and then he got the treatment he needed. The mom dropped the charges against Natalie

The most unrealistic thing on this show is how Manning never got fired. This was a pattern with her!!

[ciara]

Their son coughed up blood and they want to take him home. The worst part is there is parents out there that do this kind of thing and ik Dr Manning was in the wrong but like I would want my child to get proper medical attention if I were them

[landoftheascendingdragon]

thing that pisses me off is how parents dont trust doctors, like literally, stop listening to random people on facebook and listen to someone who could save your childs life. doctors have studied this for decades and they know what their doing. then their kid dies and they sue the hospital for not doing their jobs, i just cant, LOL

[MsMichelle]

In the real world, if you are willing to remove your child from a hospital when they are coughing up blood and spiking a fever then you should not have custody of said child let alone be allowed to make medical decisions for them. Just because the law might stand with parents on this doesn’t make it right when they would be willing to risk their child’s life because of a power struggle with a doctor who clearly knows better than they do.

The most unrealistic part of this episode is that the Parents aren’t charged with Child endangerment.

I know she has good intentions but honestly she needed to finally get some repercussions for her actions. She never learnt from her previous behaviour but also felt like she had the right to judge others :/

[NatClipp]

I know we're all talking about Dr Manning and her actions, but the kid is so cute and so well behaved when all these adults screaming around him! 😄

[marvolom]

Can't US doctors overrule parental rights if children's life is in danger? Like in some countries there are procedures to quickly (in hours) termoporally cancel parental rights if they don't agree to life saving treatment to their children (refusing blood transfusion for religious reasons, antibiotics etc). And doctors can't be prosecuted for life saving procedured on kid even if parent's are not present or don't agree.

[allaussievlogs]

parents like that should have social services called on them for risking the health and safety of their child, the fact that a doctor who cares about the kid is more in chance of being the one arrested for doing the right thing is stupid

Dr. Manning reminds me of my Pathology professor who also had a OB/GYN diploma, she was a pathologist by day and a Gynecologist by night. My professor even looks and behaves like Dr. Manning, Such care and power and confidence.

[balticdemon]

People criticise Manning's character when it comes to her conduct in cases with children, but as someone who watches true crime content a lot... countless children would probably have been saved if someone like her were involved. Dependent adults, too. And saved from a HORRIFIC death. Think Victoria Climbié (as well as too many like her).

This is a great example of ethical issues seen in real life.

[aaliyahbaines]

The parents have really pissed me off afre they wanting there son dead if he isnt treated he could die HORRID PARENTS

[zinzolin]

A baby is coughing blood in a hospital and his parents want him discharged? Can people really be this delusional??? 😵‍💫

[jaso]

**Kid coughs up blood**
Parents: Were taking him home!

[Lullette]

it annoys me when parents think they understand more then fully trained doctors, like theyre literally killing their kids when they do that

[randomusername]

They say that the worst part of being a doctor is loosing a patient, or the pressure, but I swear, I genuinely believe that constantly dealing with the BS of family members might be worse

[LLawrah]

Ive never seen the show, from all the clips I’ve seen, the minute she sees a child, she loses her mind. What is her deal?

[pearlluber]

Why do the parents take the child to the hospital if they are refusing the treatment that the hospital gives?
I remember during a measles outbreak this mother brought her little girl to the clinic. She had a fever, pneumonia and very likely measles. This child had no vaccines and was against antibiotics. I asked her, ''what is it that you want?'' Than I had to clear the clinic for a while because of the probable measles in the air.
