pediatric science has undergone a revolution in recent years. one diagnosis, in particular,!/ has come under fire-- shaken baby syndrome. take this case from decatur, georgia. i came here to meet melonie ware. ♪ ware was a daycare provider convicted of shaking a nine-month-old baby to death. she was sentenced to life in prison, but in 2009, at a retrial, the medical examiner's findings were called into question, and she was acquitted. >> all my life, i've loved children, just playing with children, being on their level. that's what i liked to do. >> thompson: it all began when ware, a certified childcare provider, was watching jaden paige at her home daycare center. the baby became unresponsive. she was taken in for questioning and arrested that night(xiír >> i was being taken away from my family, my husband, my kids, my parents. and there wasn't anything that i could do to stop it. >> thompson: the medical examiner, gerald gowitt, found three nearly-identical half-inch bruises beneath baby jaden's scalp. he argued at trial that melonie shook the baby violently, hitting the b

the hospital used to maintain a seven-bed pediatric service beyond the two observation beds they areputting in the emergency room, we still need beds to care for those children after they are born. based on the diverting services like psych, occupational medicine, on codge, surgery and others away from st. luke's to san francisco general or cpmc's north of market campuses, the can sustain is kept artificially low. you could say, sure, abeasy bed at st. luke's is adequate. that was the false logic used to justify closing the 32-bed inpatient psych unit after laying off three of the four psychiatrists and reducing the workload of the last one. dr. eugene lee to half time. without support for doctors who admit patients, the resulting census will remain low. 80 beds does not account for major disasters, such as earthquake or hini epidemic or a pg&e gas explosion. they were short of standards for search capacity needed to respond to large-scale disasters. the hospital needs to add a sixth floor just to fit into what cpmc has already committed to and handle restoration of needed services.
