The Infectious Myth - Episode 181: Effie Stillwell was not a Shaken Baby - 05.15.18
Effie Stilwell was identified as a victim of Shaken Baby Syndrome by several British medical experts, making it seem certain that her parents Carla Andrew and Craig Stilwell would lose custody, and that likely Craig would go to jail, and possibly also Carla. But Carla identified herself as having a rare, genetic vascular condition, and it turned out that so did their baby, which could explain the ‘triad’ of symptoms that many experts believe are only ever produced by violent shaking. Eventually the courts recognized her diagnosis, and the charges were dropped. David talks with both Carla and Craig, with Effie sleeping peacefully in the background.
