About this episode
Child abuse pediatricians have become increasingly villainized in the media despite being among the most specialized and cautious doctors in child abuse medicine. Andrea looks at what these doctors actually do and why their role is so often misunderstood.
Andrea also explores the rise of paid defense experts who offer alternative explanations in abuse cases that fall far outside the medical consensus.
Featuring Experts:
Dr. Stephen Boos, Child Abuse Pediatrician
Matthew Torbenson, Assistant District Attorney
Dr. Jill Glick, Child Abuse Pediatrician
