Dr. Death Season 3: Miracle Man

Wondery’s new Podcast Dr. Death Season 3: Miracle Man is the terrifying true story of Dr. Paolo Macchiarini, a charming surgeon who left a trail of bodies behind him. Right from the beginning Benita Alexander’s relationship with Dr. Macchiarini felt like something ripped from the pages of a romance novel. He was a world famous Italian surgeon who was pioneering a new treatment that could save thousands of lives. They traveled the world together, lavish vacations, romantic getaways, and it wasn’t long before he proposed to her and excitedly promised the Clintons, Obamas, and even John Legend would be at their wedding. What Benita didn’t know then was that her new fiance would take her to the center of an international medical scandal that would shock the world. Dr. Paolo Macchiarini had lied about everything… and six people would die before she would uncover he wasn’t the Miracle Man he made himself out to be.
