Clancy Children's Pediatrician Testifies About Seeing Lindsay Hours Before Killings

Lindsay Rosshirt is a pediatrician with Quincy Pediatrics in Massachusetts. She previously worked at South Shore Hospital, and she testified in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial today (Thursday, August 6, day 8) about her interactions with Clancy there, including during an appointment for Cora on the day Lindsay killed the children. 01:16 "And so, would you always be the one treating the Clancy children, or would some of your associates sometimes see the children?" "I did all the checkups, but if there was a sickness and I wasn't there that day, they would be seen by another provider." 02:02 "'I'd move to submit the pediatric records from South Shore Medical Center for Cora, Dawson and Callan." 02:55 "Was there anything out of the ordinary health-wise with Callan?" "No." "Was there any issues, or were there any issues with him meeting his milestones?" "No, and no." 03:11 "What about Dawson Clancy? Did he have any health issues or concerns that you were aware of?" "if I recall correctly from the notes, I think, just a peanut allergy, if I remember. But otherwise, he was healthy." 04:23 "So since since we're obviously caring for the child, we are not really able to diagnose or manage anything for the mom. But we do try to connect her with with resources. Whether Massachusetts has some postpartum resources, or often we'll refer to have her try to contact her OB." "When you were interacting with Lindsay Clancy, when you were treating her three children, did you ever see the need to refer her for any of those services?" "No." 07:03 "And you saw Cora Clancy on January 24, 2023, for a physical, correct?" "Yes." 07:34 "And so, would you have seen this note when her mother brought her in on December 27, 2022, with some vomiting and sore throat?" 08:43 "As far as I can recall, it was a very normal visit. Cora seemed to be behaving normally. I mean, no kids happy to be there for a checkup, but I didn't notice anything out of the norm. She seemed perfectly well behaved, and mom seemed appropriate as well." 09:33 "Did you have a discussion with Lindsey Clancy about Cora having some stomach aches?" "Yes." "And what was your evaluation of that, and your recommendation?" "So we we talked about the belly pain she was having. It, from what I could tell, I thought constipation might be possible because it's something we see a lot in kids. So I had suggested we try Miralax, which is a common stool softener we use, and. Wanted her to see me within two weeks if Cora wasn't feeling better." 10:27 cross-exam by defense attorney Kevin Reddington 10:59 "I think that Lindsay and Patrick came together for one of Cora's checkups, but as far as I can remember, every other visit was always Lindsay." 11:44 "And and in all the times that you would see Lindsay with the kids at your office, did she appear to be a doting or concerned mother for the children?" "Yes, she did." 12:33 "Was Lindsay the type of person, to your observation and your treatment of her, that that she was kind of like was she like a complainer? Would she complain to you about the kids being a pain in the neck and that she was aggravated with the children or anything like that?" "Not that I remember. No." 13:30 "And in your treatment of the children, and in your observations of Lindsey, did you know, or did she indicate to you, or did Patrick indicate to you, or anybody indicate to you, that in October of 2022 she was seeing a psychiatrist?" "No." 14:50 "Did you know about her being on any medications?" "No, I didn't." "She didn't complain to you and say that she had insomnia and that she was unable to sleep. Having difficulty like that?" "Not, not that I can remember." 15:04 "Did you know that she called the suicide hotline twice towards the end of December?" objection overruled "I did not know that." 15:28 "So when you saw her on January 24th, you did not know that she had been to McLean Hospital and had been on medications or anything, right?" "That's correct." "Because again, she wasn't a complainer?" "Correct."
