    S05.E16: Where are the now? Brittani and Sean

    To correct typo.

    I really don't have any issue with Dr. Now going off on this woman in particular. She really has her poor, befuddled little old lady routine down pat. I remember from the first episode on Sean when, after she and Sean showed up to his office and Sean had gained 84 pounds in two months, she pulled her confused bullshit on Dr. Now and softly asked "should he be eating more protein?" and some other crap. Dr. Now said with a frustrated tone, but didn't yell, that he had given them a diet and explained everything to both of them. How many countless frustrating and infuriating conversations must he have had with this woman?

    If your loved one is literally dying before your eyes, at your own hands no less, then I think you should buckle up and get ready to be yelled at a lot! Obviously Dr. Now gives a damn way more than his own "mudder" about whether or not Sean lives or dies.

    My only complaint about Dr. Now as concerns Seanmom--thanks again for that one Toaster Strudel!--is that, as a physician, he is a mandatory reporter and is legally required to report even a mere suspicion of abuse. In this case, he has directly stated that he believes there is Munchausen's By Proxy afoot here so, as many here have already said, APS should be contacted asap.

    As for her requesting very specific labs on him, "check his lactic acid levels" and so forth, coming from a normal concerned parent, such requests might not seem to be unreasonable. But coming from Munchausen Mom, well.............. The hair stood up on the back of my neck because she handles all his food so if she indeed has this syndrome, who the Hell knows what she might be putting in mama's "secret" recipe?

    So glad to hear that Dr. Now is going to schedule surgeries for Brittani's legs. She looked so small from the waist up even before her abdominal surgery; those legs must be very uncomfortable/painful for her. He wants her goal weight to be 160 pounds, but Brittani, ever the high achiever, wants it to be 140. Totally adore her.

    I somehow missed the 30 medicines bit, and I've erased the episode.
    What types of things, and did Dr. Now end them?

    Thanks.

    I'm watching the Supersized version right now auntjess and one of the pop-ups says he was diagnosed with ADHD as a child and prescribed medication which he is still taking. That's one.
