While the bad relationship he was in certainly adds thrill to the series and important context to his character, I feel like it was given too much focus in this series. Especially in this episode in particular. We hear her go on and on about how he betrayed her and was a liar, and he was dating a little blonde and blah blah blah. And it's like: okay, lady, that was bad and it sucks for you, but this guy murdered eight people.

@@DeeFreeman-ci8re I agree. It's important in the context of showing how he lies and manipulates to get his way, and it makes it crystal clear with no ambiguity that he knew what he was doing to his poor patients.And she deserves credit for being the one to bring him down, even if she screwed up big time by dating him in the first place. Still, there's something that feels kinda tasteless about devoting so much time and attention to the love affair angle and her feelings on it, when there's far more suffering and importance in the patients' stories.

For real

"she wasn't quite humble" I love this guy seriously🤣 Honestly this woman is a narcissist herself sorry not sorry. She was fooled through and through and then she even convinced herself that it was her "great investigative journalism" that led to the downfall of Macchiarini and not the documentary and the whistleblowers. 🙄

I got the same impression. I think her narcissism led to her involvement with this quack. Like she thought, “Here’s this world-renowned, handsome surgeon…who is, of course, in love with ME.”

I don't think she's a narcissist. I think she got played like a fiddle at a vulnerable time in her life. She certainly has a bit of an ego, but it seems to be defensive more than anything. I think part of her ego might have come from his gaslighting and lovebombing.

That man had no love for that journalist. If she or anyone believes that, they have fed his ego even more. That man is a professional liar. The man just loves himself.

great podcast, and everything!! loved the journey!!

that struck me as a doctor immediately when I started to listen to the podcast.

Wish he would have been prosecuted! Seems like the whistle blowers got in more trouble than him. Thanks for telling the truth.

Good standard of true crime podcasts here….top notch storytelling.

This is why Nobel Prizes lack the prestige they once had. Poor Yeshim.

I'm shocked how anyone could believe that putting a plastic bottle into a human body might actually work... This poor girl Yesim... I just saw photos of her from before and after the surgery... absolutely heartbreaking.

Apparently now they've developed artificial tracheas that actually work, but only after finding out the core basis for Pollo's research was totally and completely wrong.

Yeah, the problem both medical and ethical is (apart from lies of Dr P.M ), that the patients could have lived to this day, there was no immediate threat to their lives which would justify last-chance, experimental treatment of unproven efficacy and safety.

Outstanding! Excellent reporting.

What a wild ride. This was tremendous. I wish I could hear season 2 but after what Wondery did with and to Mike from Sword and Scale for not doing anything wrong at all - Wondery will never see one dime of my money.

@@AdrienneMint Wondery basically deplatformed and scuttled Sword & Scale - their flagship Podcast at the time - over stupidity between Mike saying things in jest and then people made him look like a monster which he wasn't then and isn't now. He's a good guy and basically had to be fired from his own Podcast and had to sit out and say nothing while waiting for his contract to run out as he was signed with Wondery. He finally has been able to start his Podcast back up and if it wasn't for S&S Wondery wouldn't have the quality podcasts like Dr. Death and The Apology Line. I refuse to support Wondery because they basically used cancel culture before it was what it is today on him. I'm disabled, dying and terminal. I live on change and go without eating for 2 weeks at a time and I'd happily pay for S&S Plus which is 5$ a month to support my favorite True Crime Podcast. I listen to Podcasts and watch documentaries all day. I love learning about all manners of different things. It's too bad as Wondery has some good podcasts but I just can't in good conscience ever support Wondery. Mike didn't do anything wrong and they royally screwed him. I'm not encouraging people to boycott Wondery at all. If you love a podcast and it's on Wondery and it's worth it to you to pay for a subscription then don't cancel just on account of me I just had to make a comment so hopefully my feelings were heard but yeah. People lied and it affected Mike. They really did him wrong.

Mr. Macaroni reminds me of Donald Trump. The way the institute and the authorities cuddled and protected Mr. Macaroni, is the same way the US judicial system and a large swath of the American public, cuddles and protect Trump in his criminality. These type of men always survive to continue on with their criminality.

The officials at the Karolinska Institute remind me of the public health officials during the pandemic - covering up for the crooks, siding with the doctors they perceived as a cash cow. Alternately going after the doctors who were only trying to seek the truth and threatening their registration for doing so. The whistle-blowers would be the doctors during the pandemic who were only interested in saving lives, who were willing to sacrifice even their livelihood in pursuit of the truth This would make a good podcast come to think of it :)

@Chris Perks No... I don't, but I can actually read research. I'm not blindly guided by "duhh uhh da government said it's good so I decided it's bad." You're a sheep to the other herd, moron.

These writers take too long to tell a story. I had to fast forward from the less interesting topics to the point of the story.

Unfortunately (or fortunately) women are more emotional than men, and as intelligent as many of them are (and of equal importance to men), they are more prone to deception esp. by sociopaths who know how to play their emotions and manipulate them. What woman would not like to have a great wedding. I have a wife, we are toghether for > 15 years, and it recently occured to me how important the wedding and the wedding dress and ceremony had been to her. At that time I had thought it was stupid and a nausance.
