Episode 13- 🎙️ Protected & Dangerous: When the System Covers for Doctors
Manage episode 489201237 series 3654553
How does a doctor rack up 100+ complaints and still stay licensed? In this jaw-dropping episode of Credentialing Chronicles, we pull back the curtain on the cover-up culture that shields dangerous doctors while patients suffer in silence. From ICE detainees subjected to horrific gynecological procedures, to anesthetized women assaulted in trusted hospitals — the system didn’t just fail. It protected the perpetrators.
In This Episode:
- A Doctor has 100+ abuse reports and the police department’s horrifyingly slow response
- The “traveling cardiologist”, who left a trail of victims in multiple states — yet still has an active Florida license
- ICE detainees and the shocking case of a doctor hurting detainees.
- Why credentialing failures, board passivity, and hospital liability fears are risking lives
- And what YOU — as a patient, provider, or MSP — can do to protect yourself and others
