I couldn't believe it when I saw Margie & Kyle. I was a Social Worker working with the family when this tragedy happened. I was at the hospital with the family when he had his amputations. It changed my life forever. Maybe Kyle's life is being used to educate others about Rocky Mt. Spotted tick fever.
All she had to do was turn around and walk right back to the ER. When you test for RMSF it usually is negative the first time anyway. It's very difficult to diagnose.
Perhaps if Jim were Gary Knights son he may have a better understanding. No one in this great country should be, "turned away", when related to health. Particulary when it is a child or senior citizen. God belss Jims mother. It is not about money with her. Obviously she just does not want this tragedy to happen to some other mother or fathers child.
That is very sad. My heart goes out to that family. But it is nice to see that justice in a way, has been served.
