Forensic Pediatrician · Adolescent Medicine Specialist · Educator
I’m Ben Weger. I review the evidence, apply the science, and say plainly what it does — and does not — support. Then I teach others to do the same.
01 About
Benjamin O. Weger, MD, FAAP, RN, EMT-P
The path was not a straight line. Paramedic, then nurse, then physician — a pediatrics residency at Madigan Army Medical Center, an adolescent medicine fellowship in San Antonio, and a specialization in forensic pediatrics. An Army physician before I was a civilian one.
The through-line never changed: get the science right, present it fairly, and never let a conclusion outrun the evidence. I have told prosecutors their case was weaker than they believed. I have told defense teams the opposite. Accuracy does not take sides.
02 What I do
Independent review of medical records, depositions, and the underlying science in cases of sexual assault, strangulation, intimate partner violence, and child abuse. I present what the evidence supports — to whichever side is asking — and I do not pretend it shows more than it does. Testimony in courts CONUS and OCONUS.
Clinical expertise in pediatric and adolescent medicine, including the sensitive, high-stakes situations most clinics are not built to handle. Fellowship-trained, and still in the room where it matters.
Hands-on instruction in hemorrhage control, the MARCH algorithm, and prolonged field care for when help is hours away, not minutes. If you carry a gun, you should be at least as prepared to save a life as to take one.
03 Ventures
Medical-legal consulting and preparedness education. Expert review, testimony, and training — on my own terms, outside the institution.

Community NonprofitNine domains of competence, one capable human. A media project for people who would rather own the map than pick a lane. Drink deep.
