The article discusses what the authors refer to as the inappropriate use of scientifically unsupported theories to explain child physical abuse during litigation, and it mentions the U.S. justice system and the claim that physicians are able to guide legal decisions involving potential child abuse. Legitimate diagnoses that lack scientific support as explanations of injuries are examined, along with fabricated diagnoses such as dysphagic choking and temporary brittle bone disease. |
