After my daughter spending the last 4 years of her life (give or take a few months) under the care of Dr Jessica Morgan I feel I need to write this completely honest review. To help encourage patients and families going forward to trust in her and what she is doing. On first meeting Dr Morgan, and spending the first few months feeling a little bit to blame for my daughter's eating disorder, and fearful of Dr Morgan, you get to understand after time that she has to be as assertive and somewhat hard as she is dealing with what is is the most conniving, deceitful, unruly, manipulative mental health condition there is. I myself have come out of Ward rounds in tears as at the time couldn't justify what she was saying and disbelieving the things my daughter was up to and felt distraught at the tough consequences that were in place. After trying to fight for every word my daughter said, I began to realise that this was not working and my daughter was getting worse as I was enabling her by sticking up for her becoming "anorexias best friend". I then started to listen more to the team and realised the only way forward to keep my daughter alive was to support what "they" were saying. There cannot be a Softly Softly approach to this illness otherwise the slightest little inch given to the eating disorder becomes a giant fail to recovery. After nearly losing our daughter on several occasions we realise we had to put our 100-percent trust into Dr Morgan and not fight her just to let her get on with what she knew best and it was only when we started to do this that my daughter started to get better and she realised we were not going to give in to the eating disorder but go with absolutely everything that Morgan said. After a long road and doing things her way we can now finally say that Dr Morgan saved our daughter's life along with the team as my daughter herself say she owes her life to her. So yes people may think she has no bedside manner, I myself have thought the same at times, but everything she does is for the right reason, she hasn't got time to mess around with this illness as it takes so many lives, she is there just to get you better as quickly as she possibly can. You just have to trust everything that is happening and everything she does and the way she does things is for a reason and that reason is to give you your life back. We cannot thank Dr Morgan enough for everything she has done and yes she may be scary at times but trust in her.
