A new podcast has shed light on the story of a New York gynecologist’s decades-long trail of patient abuse and the cover-up of his behavior by his employer, Columbia University.
In ‘Exposed: Cover-Up at Columbia University‘ from Wondery, reporter Laura Beil unfurls the story of Dr. Robert Hadden, who assaulted hundreds — perhaps thousands — of unsuspecting patients and the efforts to bring him to justice while his employer sought to keep it all under wraps.
Podcast host Beil joins Here & Now‘s Scott Tong to tell him the story which was reported in collaboration with ProPublica.
