This month, Aleena and I are going through our neurology block, learning about all things related to the brain and head injuries. In this episode of Paedsoc on a Pod!, we delve into the critical topic of Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS) with our guest, Dr Thomas Moss, a resident medical officer from Newcastle, aspiring paediatrician, and JMP alumni.
As the conversation unfolds, Dr. Moss shares insights from his medical training and experiences, from working in the hospital system in Australia, and shedding light on the signs, symptoms, and long-term consequences of SBS. Together, we discuss the alarming prevalence of SBS cases, dispel common myths and misconceptions, and emphasise the urgent need for education and intervention.
