$ix-figures of medical machines in her home?!?!


Okay, I could understand with her being a Doctor and the husband being a nurse, combined with their connections, they could either steal or get some medical supplies like linens, needles, drugs, etc.

But they probably had six-figures worth of medical equipment in their house all told. You can't just steal that stuff without someone noticing it going missing (plus it requires trucks to move), nor can you just outright buy it and have it installed in your home without people asking questions.

Actually you can buy that equipment for your house. Just act like someone old needs hospice care.

Why would someone needing hospice care require operating/surgical machines?

why do you assume they stole it?

Easier to steal than purchase and raise flags, or have people ask questions.

they could have purchased it easily.

Really, than why did the Dad have to meet someone else to buy the medicine illegally? If she was a Doctor, why couldn't they get it?

ey are medical professionals combined earning 6 figures post-tax.

The dad was unemployed, and was a nurse. He quit his job some number of years ago so he could stay home and take care of the kids.

its easy for them to afford the equipment especially if they finance it.

I am not talking about things like oxygen tanks or operating tables, I am talking about machines necessary for serious surgery...anesthesia machines, respiratory ventilators, ventricular assists, etc. From what I've researched, both the medical supplier and user have to be licensed. These devices have to be installed/calibrated, some routinely recertified. They had a whole working surgical lab in the basement. Did none of the contractors who built it find it suspicious? Did none of the delivery/installers of the machines find it suspicious as well?

The father was getting the kids drugs illegally through the woman he was sleeping with. I think it's safe to assume that they got at least some of the equipment the same way.

They are trying to hide a severe criminal activity so I'm guessing they went as black market as they could.

You're more concerned about how they got the medical equipment than how they stole a baby?

reply

Haha are you for real? They harvest organs from a stolen child yet you find it hard to believe they might have bought equipment? Stolen equipment would be a small fraction of the price for instance. Foreclosed/repo gear from closed medical offices is common and gear goes for roughly 1/3 to 1/2 price or so. I find the only real plot hole is the fact nobody cared to call police or push for someone to listen beyond the girl being talked over by her mother and essentially dropping a KIDNAPPING and going to bed???? Come on most people would scream LISTEN TO ME DAMMIT if they had to if it is something deadly serious like that.
