I think she moved Garnett around from doctor to doctor to avoid detection.
I caught part of Dr. Drew on Thursday night -- he did a piece on this case and talked about how difficult it is for anyone, including doctors, to grasp a mother slowly killing her child for attention and sympathy. I guess it's pretty rare (unless a lot of parents are getting away with it?).
He also discussed how Lacey had been a caregiver to adults since she was a child and how that may play into her "mental illness". I didn't manage to muster any sympathy for her.
