How medical bullshit and authority helped Larry Nassar get away with it

There needs to be legally mandated protocols for seeking second, and maybe even third and at least one outside the department, opinions in police investigations where decisions about the case are contingent on the expertise of a suspect or person of interest. I don’t expect law enforcement to know everything about technical fields, but it’s a dereliction of their responsibility not to seek outside experts, which in this case would be at least one and preferably two different doctors specializing in the relevant field of medicine.

This.
I’d like to think that faced with that sort of medical bullshit I might at least think about getting a second opinion.
