This week Tina is joined by Jami with First Do No Harm podcast. Together they tell the absolutely perplexing story of Paolo Macchiarini, a doctor who seemed to be on the fast track to a Nobel Prize in medicine. However, looks can be deceiving and everything around him soon began to unravel when a successful journalist from ABC began to do a story on him. They close the show with a most unbelievable and heartwarming story. You will certainly want to stick around and hear this one!
