A seventy-nine-year-old man had his perfectly functional left leg removed in Tijuana twelve hours before he was found dead in a motel room-by a surgeon who had been operating without a valid license for decades. What drives someone with Body Integrity Identity Disorder to seek an illegal amputation, and how did John Ronald Brown keep practicing despite revocations, arrests and warnings?
In this episode, we tell the story of Philip Bondy, Gregg Furth, and John Ronald Brown, covering Bondy’s decades-long struggle with Body Integrity Identity Disorder, the journey to a clinic across the border, and Brown’s history of revoked licenses, prison time, and unlicensed surgeries. How did a once-credentialed doctor end up operating in motel rooms, garages and Tijuana clinics, and what led to Bondy’s death?
