The Preventionist - Trailer

In the summer of 2023, reporter Dyan Neary received a tip about a
problematic doctor in Pennsylvania. Families were claiming that
when they sought medical care for their children, this
pediatrician falsely accused them of abuse, and their children
were taken away from them. The Preventionist traces this doctor’s
decades-long career across multiple states, and explores the rise
of a new and powerful kind of specialist, the “child abuse
pediatrician” — whose decisions can be incredibly difficult to
challenge.
