Nobody Should Believe Me — Special Report: John Cox. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
True story media. Sometimes, after we wrap up a season of nobody should believe me, we realize that there are still some threads we want to pull on, as in the case of Dr. John Cox. A plea deal today in the case of a Milwaukee area doctor accused of intentionally hurting his daughter, Dr. John Cox pleaded no contest today to child neglect. In our first ever, nobody should believe me, special report, we're asking what happens when a doctor is investigated by his own hospital system. I work in a ER. I know when kids are abused, but you guys have this completely wrong. And what happens when the media ignores the evidence? He performs a physical evaluation of the child and everything that he's seeing in that physical evaluation tells him that this child needs to be evaluated for physical abuse. And when the court of public opinion seems to matter more than the case itself.
This story is part of a larger series of reports I've done about the work of child abuse medical specialists. And there have been concerns that when mistakes happen or when these physicians overstate the evidence, which can happen in any field of medicine, that law enforcement and CPS no longer are listening to other evidence. If you're going to really think about a value in any case like this, you really need to look at the entire clinical scenario. And how many sort of improbable or nearly impossible things have to line up, but surely save it clinically, this doesn't make any sense. And who pays the price when the media gets it wrong? They knew about the divide that existed between the emergency room positions and the CAPS team as a result of the COX case and that led to a breakdown in communication in the hospital. And ultimately, it was the children of our community who paid the price. In our special report on Dr. John Cox, nobody should believe me is bringing you one case, all the facts, all at once.
