- True story media.
“- Sometimes, after we wrap up this season”
if nobody should believe me,
we realize that there are still some threads we wanna pull on. As in the case of Dr. John Cox. - A plea deal today in the case of a Milwaukee area, Dr. 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 the ER. I know when kids are abused, but you guys have this completely wrong.
“- And what happens when the media ignores the evidence?”
- Tea 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 listening to other evidence. - If you're gonna really think about a value in any case, like this, you really need to be like at the entire clinical scenario.
And how many sort of improbable or nearly impossible things have to line up if you're restricted 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 physicians and the captain is 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.
You 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. This complete four-part series
will be available to paid subscribers on Patreon and Apple podcasts on September 17th. Or you can listen week by week for free, wherever you get your podcasts.
