    Ep 69-Genital Mutilation Disguised as Love Surgery

    Send us Fan Mail A surgeon tells you everything went fine then you spend years in pain, ashamed, and confused because the truth never made it into your chart. We dig into the case of Dr James Burt of Dayton, Ohio, the physician behind “love surgery,” a set of experimental genital procedures he performed on thousands of women, often without informed consent. The details are as horrifying as they are important. We walk through how Burt sold his theory, how he used authority and taboo to isolate patients, and how institutions that should have protected women instead protected themselves. Hospitals restricted liability rather than stopping him, medical culture discouraged doctors from reporting other doctors, and the state medical board dragged its feet until national media made silence impossible. The story raises hard questions about medical ethics, patient safety, hospital credentialing, and what real accountability looks like when harm happens behind operating room doors. If you care about informed consent, medical malpractice, and how trust can be weaponised in healthcare, hit play now.

    Ep 68-The Church of Bleach

    Send us Fan Mail A “miracle cure” gets whispered about at an autism conference, and the rabbit hole opens fast. We follow the bizarre rise of Miracle Mineral Solution (MMS), a two-part chemical kit that produces chlorine dioxide, and how it’s been promoted as a treatment for everything from malaria to autism to COVID-19. The shocking part is not just the claim, it’s how normal it can look at first: concerned parents trading tips, meticulous logs, Facebook groups filled with testimonials, and a community that feels supportive and almost scientific on the surface.

We follow the case of Dr John Bodkin Adams in 1950s Eastbourne as Scotland Yard’s Murder Squad steps into a town where the police leadership is tangled up with the suspect, and the paper trail points to a chilling pattern: dangerous drugs, suspicious cremations, and an uncanny number of patients leaving money and valuables in their wills.

    Ep 63-Lucy Letby (Part Two) When Medicine Meets Reasonable Doubt

    Send us Fan Mail A case can feel settled in court and still feel unsettled in science. We take on Part 2 of the Lucy Letby story by walking through what the jury heard, what the Court of Appeal later weighed, and why so many clinicians, statisticians, journalists, and legal observers keep arguing about what the evidence can truly prove. We unpack how investigators tried to reconstruct events inside a neonatal intensive care unit where babies are medically fragile and sudden deterioration can have many causes. We explain the prosecution’s “bigger picture” approach: alleged methods like air embolus, overfeeding, insulin poisoning, shift timing, documentation found at home, and the argument that there was no other reasonable explanation. Then we sit with the uncomfortable flip side: how pattern evidence can be shaped by selection, and why a defense that does not call its own medical expert leaves jurors hearing one set of clinical conclusions as “the” story. If you care about true crime, medical evidence, healthcare failures, or miscarriages of justice, this is the kind of episode that will stay with you. Subscribe, share with a friend who loves evidence-based debate, and leave a review telling us the question you cannot stop thinking about.

    Ep 62-Lucy Letby (Part One) and a Swiss Cheese Smuggler

    Send us Fan Mail A neonatal unit is supposed to be the safest room in a hospital and yet this story begins with a run of collapses that staff couldn’t make sense of. We’re finally digging into Part 1 of the Lucy Letby case, starting where so many explanations actually begin: an ordinary life, a conventional nursing path, and a workplace where sudden deterioration is terrifyingly possible even when nobody is doing anything wrong. Trigger warnings apply for infant deaths, neonatal medical crises, murder allegations, and hospital failures.  If you want Part 2 with the arrests, trial, and the newer evidence that could challenge assumptions, make sure you’re subscribed, share this with a friend who loves true crime and medicine, and leave a review so more listeners can find the show.
