Dr. Anthony Pignataro; part 1

·1 hr 16 min·5 clips

Dr. Anthony Pignataro was an American surgeon who practiced beyond his means and caused far more harm than good.

Part one of a two-part investigation into Dr. Anthony Pignataro, whose privileged upbringing and family status allowed him to bypass merit-based medical school admissions, leading him to unaccredited Caribbean medical schools. The episode carefully documents his early life, narcissistic traits, and the educational shortcuts that positioned him to harm patients in part two. Hosts Devin and Kate use detailed storytelling to expose systemic failures in medical credentialing.
