Erin Brokovich's team "stonewalled"

Dr. Mechtler also said he's recommending a world-renowned expert in tic disorders in Rochester for the families to see for a second opinion. "The three of us would like to work together if obviously the children decide with parents to come back if they still have faith in us."

Don't most people want an independent second opinion? Most people won't even share the first doc/therapist's report just to see if the second one reaches the same conclusions independently (kinda hard when you're all over the national news though.)

 

I'm not as smart as Mechtler, but my guess is that NO, they no longer have faith in you, NO they don't want you speaking about their children on TV any longer and NO they don't want your collaboration or recommendations.

 

 

Personally, I don't know why Dr. Leckman at Yale isn't being consulted, since he's a specialist in Tourettes, originally didn't believe in the PANS connection, and now is a firm believer in the fact that in some kids with Tourettes it is triggered by PANS. He's also involved in the NIH study.
