Research and the crazy

In doing some research this week, I reached out to a friend in the medical field. I haven't seen her in over a year, so the first thing out of my mouth was, "Okay, I know this will sound crazy, but hear me out." Now she knows I'm a writer, but even this was over the top for me. It involves poison, codependency, and Munchhausen's by Proxy, or child abuse. Yeah, crazy.
