Managing pain. It can be scary, and it can be life-changing. But what happens if you’re offered a supposed miracle cure, and you end up worse off than before?In Wondery’s Dr. Death, you heard about 33 patients in Texas who went in for surgery and had their lives forever changed by an incompetent doctor. Host and reporter Laura Beil broke that story open, and now, she is reporting on another important story-- stem cell therapy, and a bad batch that gave a group of patients disastrous results. Bad Batch will investigate the multi-million dollar underregulated industry of stem cell therapy where corporate greed and patient desperation collide.It’s an industry that claims to treat pain, autoimmune diseases, infections, and even autism. It’s a cautionary tale, and an important listen. You’re about to hear a preview of Bad Batch.
