No matter how many apples you eat in a day, you\u2019re gonna eventually have to go see the doctor. It\u2019s an unfortunate but necessary part of the human experience to go into that cold little room, put on a gown with no back, try not to gag on the tongue depressor, and hold your breath while they stick a needle in your arm. It\u2019s not fun. And it\u2019s bad enough without having to worry about whether the doctor who\u2019s doing it to you is qualified to be there. We put a lot of faith in our healthcare providers. Sometimes we put our actual lives in their hands. It\u2019s high-stakes stuff. But as stories like \u201cDr. Death\u201d have taught us, our faith isn\u2019t always well-placed. Join us for one of the most audacious cases of medical malpractice we\u2019ve ever heard of, and forgive us in advance if it haunts your nightmares.
