Kryhoski narrated the horrifying experience saying that her room had a metal door with a small window and a curtain that could block the view inside and that she wasnât allowed to communicate with other children on the 10th-floor ward and calls to her parents were monitored. Kryhoski also said that she was the only child there being treated for anorexia. According to Silvermanâs 2012 obituary, he was a ârenowned international eating disorder expertâ and âexemplary human beingâ who raised four children and spent his entire, 40-year career as a pediatric clinical professor with Columbia University and attending pediatrician at the Babies Hospital. Kryhoski called Dr Silverman a classic predator. âHe had the clout and the protection of a very large hospital,â she said.
