As medical experts praise Serhat Gumrukcu’s genius, the company he co-founded rockets in value to over half a billion dollars. But when a team of researchers makes a startling discovery, they begin to suspect the brilliant doctor is hiding a secret.</p><p><strong>Season 3:</strong> Paolo is a smart and handsome surgeon, renowned for his ability to perform surgeries that transform his patients’ lives. When television producer Benita covers him for a story, he’ll transform her life too, but not in the ways she expects. As Benita crosses professional lines to be with him, she learns how far Paolo will go to protect his secrets. And halfway around the world, four doctors at a prestigious medical institute make shocking discoveries of their own that call everything into question.</p><p><strong>Season 2:</strong> If someone you love is diagnosed with cancer you want them to get the best treatment from the best doctors. In 2013, patients in Michigan thought Farid Fata was that doctor. Between his prestigious education, years of experience and pleasant bedside manner, Fata was everything you could want in a doctor. But he was not who he appeared to be. From Wondery, this is the story of hundreds of patients in Michigan, a doctor, and a poisonous secret.</p><p><strong>Season 1: </strong>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.</p>
Imagine your kid is sick, very sick.
You see the doctors, you go through the tests, talk to all the specialists.
Everyone tells you the same thing.
We've done all we can.
They'd pretty much come to the end of the line of what medicine could offer them.
But you're a parent.
You can't give up.
You'll do anything, even for just a glimmer of hope.
And then, you find him.
Dr. Sirhat has the type of brilliance that has the capacity to see across discipline
in science and connect things that others don't see.
He's a researcher.
Scientists, doctors, renowned experts were saying, genius, genius, genius.
A healer.
People that knew him were convinced that he saved their life.
And a suspected murderer.
We believe that he died from multiple gunshot wounds to the head and torso.
Many put their hope in Dr. Sirhat.
His company was worth half a billion dollars.
His research promised groundbreaking treatments for HIV and cancer.
But the brilliant doctor was hiding a secret.
Do not cross this line that was being messaged to us.
Do not cross this line.
A secret the doctor was desperate to keep.
This was a person who was willing to cold-heartedly just lie to people's faces.
We're dealing with an international fugitive.
From Wondery, the makers of Over My Dead Body and The Shrink Next Door,
comes a new season of Dr. Death.
Bad Magic.
It's a story about extravagance.
These expensive dinners and flying private and fancy hotels and beaches.
Illusion.
It's like the ultimate endgame.
He just had been fooling everybody the whole time.
And the desperate search for a cure.
I had never witnessed the absolute, total devastation on a human body
from this type of experiment.
I'm Laura Beale.

Who is Serhat?
Well, that's a difficult question to answer, actually.
Who am I?
