ED on ED
Ep 8: The Kid in a BMI Nose Dive
When a child won’t eat, it is an emergency that strikes the heart of every caretaker who hears the story. In this episode, Dr. Ed and Liz discuss the story of “Zach,” a child who, almost as suddenly as a switch is flipped, sparks an Eating Disorder. Within weeks, his health is in dire peril. A fascinating wrinkle to this tale is the fact that Zach’s mother was also one of Dr. Ed’s patients more than 20 years prior. We investigate the unique challenges present and approaches needed when treating a younger patient. In addition, Dr. Ed and Liz discuss bullying and the power of our words to affect those around us.
