After performing groundbreaking artificial trachea replacements, Paolo Macchiarini became one of the most famous surgeons of his time. But after a number of patients died following the procedures, the red flags started to rise. Macchiarini's lies would eventually be exposed and brought down by his own fiance, award winning Investigative Journalist Benita Alexander. In this episode, Kiki speaks with Benita for an insider look at the Netflix docu-series Bad Surgeon: Love Under the Knife. Benita reveals how Macchiarini managed to fool the medical community, how she fell for his glamorous lies, and why she refuses to stay silent.
