Dr. Death

<p>Dr. John Schneider rode into town like a character out of a Western: an outsider on a Harley-Davidson, in trademark cowboy boots. He promised relief to patients suffering in Wyoming and Montana. He seemed like the hero they needed.

They discover claims of broken bodies, bullying, fraud, and lawsuits.</p><p><br></p><p>From Audible, the fifth season of the hit series <em>Dr. Death</em> returns with <em>The Cowboy</em>: the story of a surgeon who took advantage of a broken system and the fight to bring him to justice.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Season 4: </strong>When a charismatic young doctor announces revolutionary treatments for cancer and HIV, patients from around the world turn to him for their last chance.

We trust the person at the other end of that scalpel. We trust the hospital. We trust the system. Christopher Duntsch was a neurosurgeon who radiated confidence. He claimed he was the best in Dallas. If you had back pain, and had tried everything else, Dr. Duntsch could give you the spine surgery that would take your pain away. But soon his patients started to experience complications, and the system failed to protect them. Which begs the question: who - or what - is that system meant to protect? Dr. Death is a story about a charming surgeon, 33 patients and a spineless system.</p><p><br></p><p>Audible subscribers can listen to all episodes of <strong>Dr. Death</strong> ad-free right now.

Ojalá lo hubiera sabido antes

¿Cuántas cosas nos hubieran cambiado la vida si las hubiéramos sabido antes? Esta es la expresión que a menudo nos dicen las personas cuando leen algún libro del maestro Antoni Bolinches, Francesc Miralles o Álex Rovira: “Ojalá lo hubiera sabido antes”. O las que se repiten ellos mismos cuando, a su vez, leen o escuchan a otras maestras y maestros. Muchas veces nos cuentan cosas que nos abren la cabeza y el corazón y pensamos “ojalá lo hubiera sabido antes, mi vida hubiera cambiado”. Este es un espacio en el que nos encontraremos cada semana con un nuevo episodio para compartir reflexiones
