Send us a text

💥Episode Description:
A doctor. Arrested for child pornography. Sentenced to just four years. Still licensed in some databases.

In this explosive BONUS episode of Credentialing Chronicles, Shannen and Nyleen dive into one of the most gut-wrenching stories in modern medicine—and the massive failure of oversight that followed. How did this happen? Why wasn’t every board, hospital, and database alerted immediately? And most importantly, how many more are slipping through the cracks?

This episode is about more than just one case—it’s about a flawed system that continues to protect providers while putting patients, families, and communities at risk.

🔥 This one’s personal. This one’s infuriating. And this one is why we do what we do.
