✦ Synopsis

Abstract

The parents of a child who was transported lifeless to a hospital initiated a medical negligence action. Only after discovery did it become clear that the mother, suffering from a disorder known as Munchausen syndrome by proxy, caused the death of the child. The case presented a number of complex evidentiary and litigation issues likely to be encountered by other medical‐negligence defense attorneys.
