[PODCASTS] Wondery's Doctor Death
Jul. 15th, 2023 08:21 amDoctor Death is a chilling podcast series about medical malpractice that are more about malice than mishaps.
Each season was difficult for me to listen to, but at the same time it's a very informative program because there are so many loopholes and dangers lurking in the medical field.
Season 1 - Dr. Duntsch
Dr. Robert Henderson was a veteran spinal surgeon in Dallas when he got an unusual phone call from a local hospital: a new surgeon had operated so poorly that a patient who’d walked in on her own two feet now couldn’t even wiggle her toes. Dr. Henderson had seen a lot, but he wasn't prepared for this. The surgery was so bad, in fact, he asked himself whether this person possibly be an impostor impersonating a physician?
Season 2 - Dr. Fata
This one was actually widely reported in the news and it was great to hear a deep dive into the case.
People went to Farida Fata for cancer treatment - but instead found pain and death.
Season 3 - Miracle Man
Paolo is a smart and handsome surgeon, renowned for his ability to perform surgeries that transform his patients’ lives. When television producer Benita covers him for a story, he’ll transform her life too, but not in the ways she expects. As Benita crosses professional lines to be with him, she learns how far Paolo will go to protect his secrets. And halfway around the world, four doctors at a prestigious medical institute make shocking discoveries of their own that call everything into question.
