“I have brain cancer, with both a neurosurgeon and an oncologist! Both seasons hit a little close to home. This is absolutely sickening compared to skilled ethical caring Doctors out there. Narcissistic ego and-greed run amuck at the tragic cost to the patients.devastating stories.”

“I thought both seasons were interesting and also mind boggling at the same time. I really thought it was a great idea to do another episode with Jerry and also the interview about how we can still trust our medical system. I love that they clarified this podcast is not representative of ALL...”Read full review »

“Sooooo many commercials. Not sure how it has an average of 4.5 stars- the interviews are choppy and the development/ level of depth is disappointing. Overall a waste of time. Half the season is “follow up” which just means adds.”

“This podcast lacks the material to sustain a full new series. The first 3 episodes are strong (as you’d expect from this team!) but then is followed by episodes that can only be described as fluff - including retrospectives to the previous series, and unnecessary interviews that feel like filler...”Read full review »

“Well done, super fascinating! If only the host would speak at a normal tempo, it’d be an even better listen! Her narrative is often painfully slow (“I....V....I....G....”) and because everyone else is speaking normally, speeding up the podcast doesn’t help.”

What about the wife? Were his colleagues and hospital reprimanded for not alerting the public or the...”Read full review »

“Farid Fata is more than worthy of the investigative lens (and your ire), as season 1’s subject. But while the story is fascinating, the research and reporting feel lackluster, only skimming the surface of Fata’s empire, deceit, and journey into darkness. For a story so rich in material, the...”Read full review »

“Not a full season at all. Really just a few episodes about a new story followed with interviews or season 1 updates. Also, ads are too common and misplaced, and they tend to interrupt the story to play them.”

Season two is lacking in that regard. A more detailed picture could have been painted. ...”Read full review »
