Paolo Macchiarini became world famous as a charismatic Italian surgeon who developed an artificial trachea made out of plastic and soaked in stem cells that he claimed would give patients a new lease on life. Instead, it killed them in a horrific fashion. Along the way, he conned women into falling in love with him and had four separate families scattered all over the world. The woman that brought him down is Benita Alexander, an accomplished journalist and the star of the Netflix docuseries called "Bad Surgeon," and another documentary called "He Lied About Everything." Is Macchiarini in prison? Are there more secrets out there? Watch this episode and go back to watch Benita's earlier appearance on the podcast as well. You will not believe how narcissistic and evil this former winner of the Nobel Prize for Medicine was. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGfAUK9V6UM.
