I'm now going to introduce and walk you through a case entitled “Trust Bu Always Verify.” We have an 11-month-old boy who presents for care with his father. The chief complaint was that he hit his head against the wall when I was pushed. The father reports that he, the infant's biological father, and the child's biological mother were having an argument at home that escalated into a physical altercation.
