Boston Medical Center has restricted the work Dr. Michael Holick, a famous endocrinologist and child abuse skeptic.

Holick’s physician profile on the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine shows the hospital took action in February to restrict the “right or privilege” of Holick.

In September, ProPublica and The New Yorker reported that Holick has testified in hundreds of child abuse trials around the world and almost always blamed children’s broken bones and other injuries on a rare genetic disorder.

The report found that Holick began testifying as an expert witness in child abuse cases within the last 10 years. He consulted or testified in more than 300 cases, always on the side of the accused. In the years of testimony Holick never found a child was abused. He almost always said the injuries were the result of Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a connective tissue disorder than can cause bones to be fragile.

The investigation by ProPublica and The New Yorker focused on the case of 3-week-old twins in South Carolina. A social services investigation there found the twins had been abused, but the parents contacted Holick who said both kids had Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.

Nearly eight months later one of the twins suffered a severe brain injury and the child’s father was charged with abuse to inflict bodily harm on a child. The case is pending, according to the article.

“Thousands, if not tens of thousands,” of parents have been falsely accused of fracturing their children’s bones, Holick said to ProPublica last year.

“It’s just terrible. I feel so sorry for these parents,” he said.

A BMC spokesman told ProPublica that Holick’s restrictions were a result of the information provided by the investigative news service last year. Holick is still allowed to treat children who participate in his research.
