Pandemic Pulse
At Pandemic Pulse, we create a platform through a weekly podcast to make sense of some of the most pressing issues that are transforming our lives: from better understanding the virus itself, to grappling with the socioeconomic impacts, to envisioning what the new normal we will become. Primarily student-driven and run out of Stanford University, Pandemic Pulse is tapping into the expertise and resources around us. Each episode will dive into a facet of COVID-19 and shed light on some of the most urgent questions for our generation. Visit us at http://pandemicpulse.su.domains

If you can never get enough true crime... Congratulations, you’ve found your people.
We’re at our most vulnerable when we go to our doctors. We trust the person at the other end of that scalpel. We trust the hospital. We trust the system. Christopher Duntsch was a neurosurgeon who radiated confidence. He claimed he was the best in Dallas. If you had back pain, and had tried everything else, Dr. Duntsch could give you the spine surgery that would take your pain away. But soon his patients started to experience complications, and the system failed to protect them. Which begs the question: who - or what - is that system meant to protect? From Wondery, the network behind the hit podcast Dirty John, DR. DEATH is a story about a charming surgeon, 33 patients and a spineless system. Reported and hosted by Laura Beil.
