This podcast is very compelling. These patients, like Barry, who decided to have surgery instead of trying diet and exercise one more time, will break your heart. Patients were butchered by this doctor and then Dr. Death went on to practice at another hospital! You cannot listen to this and not be shocked at how long he is able to 'practice' medicine. He gets away with murderous malpractice via bravado, a slick website and the greed of the medical establishment.
Keep listening, he will get his comeuppance---and that will only because a couple of doctors kept sounding alarms and going to the medical board. Frankly the police should have been involved after the second surgery gone wrong. This guy is an extreme example of systematic problems in our medical system that values profit over lives far too often. It's also an unvarnished look at how far a white man with Dr. before his name can get before finally being stopped.
A couple of facts from the Wondery website "1.3 million 'bad doctor' reports on the National Practitioner Data Bank," and "in 2017 13 state boards never checked the data bank." Ugh! Oversight doesn't work if no one uses it!
Patient beware! If you have to have a surgery, get that second opinion and research your doctor. This organization provides doctor report cards.
