Ep 1: Ep. 1: The Marvelous Dr. Mazel

Edgewater Hospital is the birthplace of Hillary Clinton, John Wayne Gacy and tens of thousands of Chicagoans. It was Chicago's premier hospital for 50 years -- but that changed following the sale to a man named Peter Rogan. The fraud that followed quickly overshadowed the hospital's once-sterling reputation. In this true crime series, former Edgewater Hospital staff, patients and investigators recount what happened and why many believe Peter Rogan got away with it.
