Patients in search of a miracle cure end up in critical condition. The race is on to find out what went wrong before more people get hurt. The trail leads back to a medical company with slick marketing and a charismatic CEO. And to a multibillion dollar stem cell industry where greed and desperation collide. Laura Beil, the award-winning host and reporter of “Dr Death,” returns for this six-part investigative series from Wondery, the makers of “Dirty John” and “The Shrink Next Door.”

Customer Reviews
Good not great
Love Lara Beal but not the depth of Dr Death.
Subscription- no thx
Wondery has gotten greedy now requiring a subscription. I’ll go elsewhere for my podcasts and stories. Such a shame bc I enjoyed listening… use ads not subscriptions to fund your next podcast.
So interesting
I found this podcast by chance and I absolutely loved it. The story was really interesting and one I wasn’t familiar with. So it was great to really learn something and not just being entertained. All the tales were moving when the victims would talk about their experiences. This is definitely a great podcast.
