Praise for Medical Kidnap Files
—A phenomenal read! The story line is both exasperating and inspiring. Is it a conspiracy or crazy thoughts? You have to read to the end to know for sure.
—I thoroughly enjoyed Mito. I didn’t want to put any it down.
—The incipient relationship between Gabriel and Renata, both in awful situations, was fascinating and I was intrigued by the very original theme of the book. I hope it really is a work of fiction!
—The plot was FANTASTIC. I’ve read a lot of stories about foster children, but never anything quite like what happens in Mito. I never even realized that medical kidnap could very well be a thing happening “behind the scenes” in foster care, but after reading this book my mind is blown.
Author Notes
Author Notes may contain spoilers!
Is medical kidnap still a thing? Or has it disappeared with all of the advances in medical technology and diagnostic procedures?
Unfortunately, children and teens are still being taken away from their parents because of misdiagnosis, parents who disagree with doctors, the increased awareness of Munchhausen by proxy/factitious disorders, overzealous case workers, and clinical trials in need of patients.
Diagnosing diseases and disorders can be a very long and complicated process with lots of twists and turns along the way, just like this story.
