When her mother was not dragging her to medical appointments and hospitals, Julie still had no escape from the abuse. At home (where she should have been able to feel safe and secure) her mother subjected her to more child abuse, including beatings and starvation.

They always joke about it and tell us all the time how amazing it is that we still have her as most of them have known us over 20 years and remember when we got her,” Julie continued. We are truly honored. Pebbles has been with us through everything; ups and downs, good times and bad, and she has always been the beacon of our lives,” said Julie.

Gregory J (2019) Use of pain scales and observational pain assessment tools in hospital settings. Nursing Standard. doi: 10.7748/ns.2019.e11308 Feldman, who encouraged Gregory to write her book, has testified on cases of Munchausen's syndrome by proxy throughout the US, often before judges and juries that are dubious about the existence of such a bizarre form of abuse. Doctors can be similarly uncertain, he says. "What a parent says is usually the best guide to what's wrong with the child, so it takes an enormous shift in attitude for a physician to accept that the stories ring untrue, that the test results are normal, that no treatment ever works, that no amount of testing is ever 'enough' and that the parent is more accurately called a perpetrator." Pebbles is like a wild teen who loves to sleep during the day and is up all night.” – Julie Gregory It's a charge Gregory's mother strongly denies. She said she was only trying to help her daughter and that Gregory made up stories of abuse as an adult to make money by publishing a book about her childhood.

Julie remembers reading about the record titles for the tallest and oldest living people, and never imagined her dog would someday be a Guinness World Records title holder. In addition, My Father's Keeper recounts allegations of physical and emotional abuse inflicted by Gregory's father.Munchausen by proxy is perhaps the single most lethal form of child abuse," said Dr. Marc Feldman, who has studied the syndrome for 20 years. "These kids may undergo immense numbers of diagnostic tests, medical procedures, and medication trials, with all of the risks that go along with that." We had migraine headaches. We had sore throats," she said. "[Then we had] intestinal issues. I had to drink barium meals." Dr Marc Feldman, an Alabama-based specialist on the condition, estimates that 1,200 new cases are reported each year in the US. Many more may go undetected, because of the secretive nature of the maltreatment. One recent study suggested that when a case of Munchausen's syndrome by proxy, or MBP, is finally recognised, one of the child's siblings may already have died, an earlier victim of the perpetrator.

Pain is a personal, individual and subjective experience. The complex and dynamic nature of pain makes its assessment and management challenging for healthcare professionals. Various pain scales are available that can assist in identifying the patient’s experience of pain; however, these tend to reduce this experience to a measure of pain intensity. The use of pain scales also requires patients to communicate and describe their pain; when this is not possible, it is necessary for healthcare professionals to observe patient behaviours that may indicate pain. Various observational pain assessment tools have been developed to assist in recognising and assessing pain. This article discusses the various pain scales and observational pain assessment tools that are available, and the evidence to support their use. Munchhausen's and Munchhausen's by Proxy are fascinating syndromes. One of my favorite novels has a great example, but it's kind of spoilerific: Sharp Objects A fan of warm weather, Pebbles loves summertime, which gives her the opportunity to sit on the steps of her family’s pool and soak up the sun. Much of the narrative was repetitive and felt bulky thanks to the author's penchant for metaphors, some that worked better than others.Julie Gregory starred in the film I Didn’t Think You Didn’t Know I Wasn’t Dead and My New Advisor by Columbus, Ohio, independent filmmaker Jim Bihari. After news of the former oldest dog living, TobyKeith, first broke, the Gregorys realized that Pebbles was older. This passage characterizes Julie’s father as loving yet harsh. Dan does not want Julie to be embarrassed and laughed at, however does not know how to deliver the message. He harshly criticizes her body, which cannot help Julie’s self esteem. I found the situation ironic as well. At first, when Dan took Julie into the bedroom, I thought he was going to molest her. Later, once Julie has a new job set up at the hospital, I think that maybe Dan was trying to help Julie get out. At the hospital, Julie was offered counseling and help. Throughout Julie’s story, the character of her father troubles me because he seems to want to help Julie yet is easily manipulated by Sandy. MBP could be presented in many ways… such as the Pine Sol scene from above or say, poisoning your child with excessive amounts of salt or um….tainting your child’s urine with your own blood… In Julie Gregory’s case it included not feeding your child and then bringing them to the doctor saying that they are listless and weak (duh) or convincing the child that something is wrong with their heart and introducing doctor upon doctor until the mother (it’s usually a female caretaker) finds a doctor willing to run a battery of invasive tests to determine the problem and then screaming at the doctor when he refuses to do open heart surgery on the kid. Hmmm…
