Christopher Duntsch made headlines. But if you zoom out, the bigger question is harder and more important:

How did the system let him keep going?

In BONUS Episode 2 of AdvoKAYte: Holding Healthcare Accountable, Kay Van Wey sits down with Laura Beil, the investigative journalist and host of Wondery’s Dr. Death, to talk about what most people miss. This story was labeled “true crime,” but Laura explains why it was never really a whodunit. It was a why-was-this-allowed.

They get into what Laura learned reporting Dr. Death, what happens when healthcare is treated like a business, and why transparency is still so hard for patients even when they’re trying to do everything “right.”

In this BONUS episode, we talk about:

1. Why the healthcare system is the main character in Dr. Death
2. The money, pressure, and incentives that shape decisions behind the scenes
3. Why patients can research a refrigerator more easily than a surgeon
4. What to look for when you’re choosing a doctor (and why instincts matter)
5. Tools like ProPublica’s Surgeon Scorecard and what data can—and can’t—tell you
6. Why people inside hospitals are often afraid to speak up, even when they know something’s wrong
7. What has (and hasn’t) changed since Dr. Death and why that matters now

If you’ve followed Dr. Death, or if you’ve ever wondered how stories like this keep happening, you’ll want to hear this conversation.
