Malpractice to Manslaughter: Jerry Kolpek The Miss Medical Podcast

Jerry's story is part one of our special, two part season finale while we wrap up season one. It's hard to believe we've heard so many stories so far!Jerry's story was one I found particularly touching - there are so many positive words I could use to describe Jerry, and a few of those would be: honorable, loyal, loving, committed to family, and avid Gopher fan. 
While Jerry's story is intertwined with a very large and shocking lawsuit that resulted in a prison sentence, for this week, we're not going there just yet. This week is dedicated to just knowing who Jerry was and what he meant to all those around him. This is Jerry's story.
Next week will be our final episode of the season, where we'll learn about the aftermath of one of the most shocking malpractice lawsuits in recent years.
