Dr. Death

Season 2 Episode 6: The Fog

Season 2 of "Dr. Death" is based on the true story of Paolo Macchiarini, an effortlessly charming and talented surgeon who reaches the height of success in stem cell research and tracheal implants. Seen through the eyes of the woman who loves him, Benita Alexander, and his medical peers, Paolo's perfection unravels. In a tale of lies, manipulation, heartbreak and betrayal, the whistleblowers peel back the layers of Paolo's deception until they realize vulnerable patients put their faith in not a miracle man, but a con man. In the end, patients perish by his hand, suffocating on the decaying plastic windpipes he placed inside them.
