A journey into the shaken baby syndrome/abusive head trauma controversy

I wish, unfortunately I'm not a criminal defense lawyer nor a medical doctor! And I don't intend to be one anytime soon. ;)

I think the most productive thing I can at least try to do is to raise awareness among lawyers, doctors, and all professionals involved. No one has the time to dig into it as much as I did, but perhaps I can organize and present our current knowledge as clearly as possible. The book is one little step in this direction.

First: I'm very sad about your son and also about your experiences afterward.

If you have the requisite "knowledge, skill, experience, training, or education" you can testify as an expert. No need to be a lawyer, don't need to be a doctor.

You gave yourself that knowledge and your knowledge exceeds that of the typical "they shook the baby" expert. I'd go with you any day.

I had no idea that was possible. Thank you.

It seems highly likely that you and your co authors are the some of the most expert people on the planet about this subject.
