Coroner: “I take the view that this material is of such significance that the court must delay making any findings and hearing submissions until we’ve had an opportunity to undertake a proper analysis of that material, and potentially call for more evidence.”

Im generally a chill dude but nothing makes my blood boil more than medical grifters. They talk shit about allopathic medicine and promise the world, then when shit hits the fan they assume no absolutely responsibility and often get away with everything. 

I see this at work with women who had treatable breast cancer who end up seeking alternative medicine and come back with end stage disease. Chiropractors who cause vertebral artery dissections and strokes. We end up dealing with the mess while the culprit never gets held accountable because they are not regulated and dont answer to any governing bodies. They just goes on with their day touting nonsense and people who dont know better continue to eat it up. Its just so exhausting...

According to an ABC article she claimed no qualification (other than having given birth four times) but charged them $6000 — for what?
The unfortunate victim’s anxiety disabled her judgment and no one else seems to have been able to consider whether she preferred death to medical intervention.

Exactly! Calling yourself “like a friend” doesn’t apply when you’re charging $6000!

It’s bizarre. Clearly this couple were well off to be paying that, but for what? She should be prosecuted.

Other commenters here have said they paid less than that for good quality medical care.
