    A Dallas mother is in jail, accused of faking her 8-year-old son's multiple illnesses. Christopher Bowen reportedly has had more than 300 doctor visits and endured 13 major surgeries. @OmarVillafranca spoke to the boy's father: http://cbsn.ws/2CrteAj pic.twitter.com/CaP5R8hDsg

        Why is the mom in jail? What about the docs who performed unneccesary surgeries and provided unneeded medications?

        Why did the DOCTORS provide the medications, if he didn't need any? The physicians are the professionals and they should have discovered this sooner, right!

        So let's ignore the horrible mother for just a moment and focus on the fact that these surgeons operated on a child 13 times without knowing what illness he had, or I should say didn't have.

        I really fail to understand why people do this. Especially to an innocent child.

        It's really hard to wrap my brain around it. Sad. But dad says the kid is doing better.

        The mom is accused of Doc shopping. And you'd think docs would share files, but medical privacy laws let patients have a big say. In this case, mom wouldn't share files or let docs perform simple tests. It's a sad but interesting story

        How is this even possible? Did the doctors treat him based on the mothers word alone, symptoms??? A diagnosis

        So the doctors shouldn't have done ANYTHING!! If a patient, or parent wont allow testing to prove sickness, show them the door!
