I’ve been reading this thread for a few months now and got an account just to post on here.

I know a guy whose son takes Clozapine. He (the father) is his son’s legal guardian and dispenses all medication, takes him to all appointments etc. anyway, the dad said Clozapine is one of the most highly regulated drugs in the US. If I recall correctly from what he told me, you only get exactly enough of the medicine to see you to the next appointment with your prescriber. And if the patient taking Clozapine misses a SINGLE dose of it, they must stop immediately and restart at the lowest possible dose of the medication and then gradually titrate upward from there. This is required, he said.

So I don’t think Susan can give Bodhi any more Clozapine because to do that, Jani would have to miss a dose of hers. And even if she does find a quack like Dr. Rizvi who is willing to write another Clozapine prescription for Bodhi, they’d still have to start at the bottom and move slowly upward so it would take some time to turn him back into a drooling sack of potatoes.

Munchausen Theatre. That respite Carlos is terrible, by the way. Jerking Bodhi all around by the arm, he should be working with Bodhi on walking independently at his age. He's not well trained.

To be fair on old Carlos, they're used to Bodhi just drooling and being completely pliable. Carlos has never had to DO anything till now.

I was about to say just this. Carols wants Bodhi doped up for the same reason Susan does, so he will just stare at his iPad and drool. Carols can kick back, text cam whores on FB, scroll IG thots, etc.. With Bodhi off meds he’s moving around and has to be interacted with and doesn’t just mindlessly chew when they shove food in his mouth.

Carlos kisses Susan’s ass because that’s the only way staff stays around for long. It’s was an easy gig for him since he doesn’t care about Susan drugging the kids into zombies. Carlos is a GED man who has zero clue about anything and just goes along with Susan’s MORE MEDS script.

Bodhi eating less is a good thing. He was overweight and bloated. Carlos even said in the video he ate two hot dogs and drinks lots of water - perfect! Two hot dogs for lunch and lots of water is a fine lunch for an 11 year old. As long as Bodhi is drinking lots of water he’s doing well. His poor kidney could use a flush and the water has probably greatly helped reduce the constipation he suffered due to the meds in a normal way.

It was already disabled when I first saw that video about 8 months ago.

I've had multiple MRI's and the person operating the machine gave me a dye injection. Also any nurse can start an IV. Perhaps because of his movements they needed a doctor to sign for a sedative. It seems like that is what they were talking about, but I agree it seems very odd.

Sedation is usually approved before the procedure and the appointment given is at a time when the sedation can be done. I think the DR didn't ask for sedation but Susan wanted it.

Yeah, it's crazy, here in the UK you get a weeks worth and you get the next script at your weekly blood test.

 

[Mylove]

It's like 3:30 in California Sunday afternoon.

We are military and I can schedule an MRI anytime. Even the middle of the night. The reason is the MRI dept has to be manned 24/7. They will schedule you at all hours of the day and night. Susan was at a hospital so, it might be the same there. Or the MRI could have been ordered as asap.

Exactly that!

What????? Where is that from?

 

[Love Soze]

I'm confused. Was she expecting sedation via IV first? Not to powerlevel, but I have a lot of experience with sedation pre-MRIs and, in my experience, that's not what they do. First they prescribe a SINGLE DOSE of some pill (2 Xanax or Valium pills, generally). You must pick it up right before the MRI, I think no more than 24 hours ahead. Then, once you are there, if you need more, they start an IV after you have already had the initial sedation. I don't get what she was even trying to do.

I think she expected them to just bung a mask on his face and knock him out cold for a simple MRI. And this woman claims to know more than a doctor.

I found it in one of the clips from Dr Phil’s last involvement with The Schofields!

The fact that she's making such a big fuss about this makes me think she's trying to deflect or that she's lying about something, as @SourDiesel said

I feel like Susan is dumb enough to fuck both of them by giving Bhodi some of Jani's Clozapine.

Can anyone summarize for those of us who can't watch? There's a single good rating in it for you

Susan prodes a giant respite worker (Carlos) to claim Bodhi is starving and wetting himself due to lack of medication. Carlos drags Bodhi into the hospital (quite violently, as others have noted) while Susan films and screeches, prompting Carlos to say EXACTLY what she wants to hear. Carlos mistakenly says Bodhi is getting an x-ray about a gazillion times, even after Susan corrects him that it's an MRI. They go into the hospital on a Saturday for an MRI and it doesn't happen. Susan blames the staff for something but I'm SURE she fucked up and won't admit it (see below for my theory). The screen goes blank a bit because Susan KNOWS she's not allowed to film in a healthcare facility, but can't help herself. She tries to hide this (ie filming) from the staff as she interacts with them. We get darkness and a nice shot of her thumb. Then imbecile Carlos bitches about having to walk 500 feet back to where they parked, while still violently dragging Bodhi along.

Tbh before you said it could be staged I was already wondering wtf the game was and how much they pay Carlos to be such a fucking asslicker. Bodhi lost weight because he's no longer a bloated, constipated mess.

Anyway, partway through, when he's beginning to explain what happened he says, "They forgot to inform us that..." and then he stops himself and goes back to the "they didn't have anyone here" story. Wtf did they not inform you to do, Carlos? Because it sure sounds like you were about to say it was Susan's responsibility to do something here that she didn't do. Whether they "forgot" to inform her or whether she just told Carlos she was never told, there's a lie in here somewhere.

I too, was trying to figure out what the fuck was happening. I greatly appreciate you pointing out this error of Carlos, because it gave me an "AHA!" moment. I think I have a pretty plausible theory. (Theory 1 encompasses Carlos' blunder).

Backup info: an MRI of the brain takes about 30-60 minutes to complete. The patient has to lie completely motionless that entire time. For normal 11 year olds or an adult, that's no big deal. But for a kid as brain-damaged as Bodhi, I'm sure he'd require general anesthesia. Just a dose of a benzo beforehand really wouldn't cut it for him. A nurse could do any sort of injection or IV he'd need, so that's utter B.S. on Susan's part. A radiologist would give the contrast material (Gadolinium) and the anesthesiologist would need to be present to give the general anesthesia. (Or possibly a certified nurse anesthesist--CNA).

Theory 1: Assuming the CNA and/or anesthesiologist and radiologist were at the appointment. In order to go under general anesthesia, the patient has to fast (not eat or drink) for AT LEAST 6 hours. Having food in your stomach is no good because when you're under general anesthesia, you could aspirate, have vomit travel into your lungs, causing a nasty infection and/or death. (Simplified because I'm not too knowledgeable on anesthesia yet tbh...) Susan, being Susan, has been feeding Bodhi a steady stream of garbage the past 6 hours. When the appointment was scheduled initially, she was told about the fasting and blatantly ignored it, forgot, or didn't read the paperwork and ALSO didn't want to admit to her mistake. Contrary to her screeching, Bodhi's been eating fine, including *too* recently to have the anesthesia. Carlos tries to blame the staff "for not informing us...[about the required fasting]" but then corrects himself when he realizes he's fucked up the lie. Susan's fabricated story accomplishes two of her goals--(1) continuing the illusion of Bodhi's starvation and (2) keeping her from admitting to any wrongdoing. Obviously it's the evil hospital's fault because THIS IS THE MENTAL HEALTHCARE SYSTEM IN AMERICA. *groan plus an eyroll*

Theory 2: Bodhi's appointment was earlier in the week and they missed it. Susan decided to show up on a Saturday unscheduled. They actually didn't have an anesthesiologist and/or radiologist working, and refused to bring in the "on-call" staff because it wasn't any sort of urgent emergency. Doctors get called and gladly come in for Saturday/Sunday emergencies, but dont take kindly to being bothered on the weekends for shit like Susan's. I doubt the staff even attempted to reach the "on-call" person, because they saw Susan was perfectly capable of returning on a weekday when they were fully staffed.

(It's weird they'd schedule an MRI on a Saturday, but I could possibly see that being legitimate, in fitting with theory 1).

Edit-typos and an eyeroll for good measure

 

[lameandgay2]

I have this theory that Carlos is just the muscle. I bet he does all the restraining. Like he has proper credentials! He's literally just a big fat blob who couldn't catch Bodhi if he bolted, but could definitely restrain him not through nursing skill but through sheer weight.

 

[large_farva]

Still no telling, since everything they say is a lie.

I always appreciate your medical expertise and input.

 

[multiverse]

No matter what dr. Phil does I think Susan's constantly going to talk over Michael and not shut up for a second.

If they're smart and want good TV, the exes won't be in the same room. They'll interview them separately and flip between them. Otherwise no one gets a word in with Susan around, Phil knows this from last time when he called her a "prolific talker".

The nerve of this witch.

Carlos: " bruh his face is different!" Yes, Carlos that's what it looks like when your charge isn't seizing every 30 seconds. He can have facial expressions and not be psychotic.
