  • Patient One: MDMA, A Recorded Abuse That Toppled a Trial

    Patient One: MDMA, A Recorded Abuse That Toppled a Trial
    2026/09/10
    Patient One: MDMA, A Recorded Abuse That Toppled a Trial

    The camera in a therapy room kept recording as Meaghan Buisson lay under the influence of MDMA in October 2015 - footage that later showed her therapist making repeated physical contact with a patient who could not meaningfully consent. How did a preserved recording of abuse inside a federally sanctioned trial fail to stop the study immediately, and what did it reveal about structural loopholes in psychedelic research?

    In this episode, we tell what happened to Patient One One in a Phase Two MDMA-assisted psychotherapy trial, how institutional rules allowed a therapist with a lapsed license to work alongside a licensed colleague, and why a decade-old recording eventually reached regulators and influenced a federal advisory vote. What does Meaghan Buisson’s experience reveal about safety, consent, and oversight in clinical trials?

    Person: Meaghan Buisson
    Event: October 2015 therapy session recording
    Organization: MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies)
    Therapists: Richard Yensen and Donna Dryer
    Trial Phase: Phase Two for treatment-resistant PTSD

    - Buisson enrolled as Patient One One in December 2014.
    - The planned cohort size was twelve patients; the trial ultimately treated six.
    - Richard Yensen’s psychologist license had lapsed in 2009, five years before Buisson’s enrollment.
    - The dosing phase ran until October 2015 with follow-up continuing through June 2016.
    - The institution settled with Buisson for fifteen thousand Canadian dollars and a signed waiver.

  • The First Patient: How a Clinical Trial Became a Crime Scene

    The First Patient: How a Clinical Trial Became a Crime Scene
    2026/09/09
    The First Patient: How a Clinical Trial Became a Crime Scene

    A licensed psychiatrist surrendered her medical license and police recommended criminal charges after video from a clinical trial showed what prosecutors later called inappropriate physical contact during MDMA-assisted therapy. How did a trial run by a major nonprofit, with cameras rolling and a therapist whose license had lapsed, become the setting for allegations that would take nearly a decade to surface?

    In this episode, we chronicle the sequence of events from enrollment through the final dosing session and the regulatory fallout, laying out who was involved, what the recorded sessions showed, and the structural rule that allowed an unlicensed therapist to participate. How did the trial’s own policies contribute to what happened to the first patient?

    Person: Meaghan Buisson
    Event: MDMA-assisted psychotherapy trial dosing sessions
    Organization: MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies)
    Therapists: Richard Yensen and Donna Dryer
    Date enrolled: December 2014

    - Meaghan Buisson was the first patient enrolled in the cohort in December 2014.
    - Buisson completed her final formal trial procedures in June 2016, with the final dosing session in October 2015.
    - Richard Yensen’s psychologist license had lapsed in 2009, but MAPS policy required only one current medical license per session.
    - Video recordings of dosing sessions existed and later matched Buisson’s allegations of physical contact such as cuddling and spoons.
    - The case led to a licensed psychiatrist surrendering her medical license and police recommending criminal charges, though no convictions were recorded.

  • The Surgeon Without a License Who Amputated a Man's Life

    The Surgeon Without a License Who Amputated a Man's Life
    2026/09/08
    The Surgeon Without a License Who Amputated a Man's Life

    A man whose medical license had been revoked 21 years earlier performed an amputation that left a 79-year-old dead - and it began with a desire no U.S. surgeon would legally honor. What drove Philip Bondy to seek removal of a healthy limb, and why did John Ronald Brown continue operating despite revocation, criminal arrest, and at least one earlier patient death?

    In this episode, we tell the events leading up to the May 10, 1998 discovery of Philip Bondy’s body and the context around the decades-long practice of John Ronald Brown, showing how gaps in mainstream medicine shaped the choices patients made. What does Bondy’s case reveal about a condition barely recognized in 1998 and the practitioners who filled that void?

    Person: Philip Bondy
    Date: May 10, 1998
    Location: National City, California
    Person: John Ronald Brown
    Event: California Medical Board revocation in 1977

    - Philip Bondy was seventy-nine years old when Gregg Furth found him dead on May 10, 1998.
    - Bondy’s left leg had been amputated the day before in Tijuana by John Ronald Brown.
    - Brown’s medical license was revoked by the California Medical Board in 1977 for gross negligence, incompetence, and moral turpitude.
    - Brown failed the American Board of Plastic Surgery oral examination and never held U.S. board certification in that specialty.
    - Brown was arrested in 1990 after operating without a license on a thirty-year-old transgender woman and served nineteen months.
