概要
The Clinic That Replaced Waiting Lists - A Child's Dangerous Dose

Fear that a system built to save children instead exposed them to life‑threatening risk: a child with no prior testosterone exposure was put on the highest possible starting dose within days, and by May 2024 a consultant paediatric endocrinologist warned in court the child was "presently at risk of sudden death due to thromboembolic disease." How did a telemedicine clinic meant to bypass NHS waiting lists reach that point?

In this episode, we lay out the sequence of events that took a clinic from promise to scandal, describing the clinic's founding, its clinical practices, the regulatory responses and the undercover reporting that provoked public alarm - and we ask whether replacing one failing system created another riskier one.

- A child with no prior testosterone exposure was prescribed the highest possible starting dose within days.
