Unsilenced Movement founder Shelby Smith reveals the dark underbelly of voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG), the "gold standard" diagnostic test for vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) in pediatric urology. VCUGs are performed on up to 1 million children every year while being falsely promoted as safe, low-risk and minimally invasive, despite decades of critically appraised research establishing this test as the "psychological equivalent" to child sexual abuse.
