Shortcut: Shaken Baby Syndrome: How Certain Is the Diagnosis?

This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed.

Few areas of forensic medicine are more sensitive, or more consequential, than the question of how a baby suffered a serious brain injury.

Journalist Michael Bachelard explores the controversial science behind shaken baby syndrome in his podcast Diagnosing Murder, investigating cases where parents and carers have been accused of harming their children.
