ProPublica's Dave McSwane on the unfolding medical drama in Helena

  • サマリー

  • J. David McSwane is an award-winning investigative journalist at ProPublica who recently published a story about Dr. Tom Weiner, a prominent oncologist at Helena’s St. Peter’s Hospital whose practices raised significant ethical, medical, and legal questions. McSwane takes us behind the scenes of his reporting process, sharing how he uncovered allegations of malpractice, including fraudulent billing, overprescription of narcotics, and unsettling end-of-life care decisions. The conversation explores the intersection of health care and greed, the power dynamics within the medical community, and the challenges of exposing complex institutional failures in a community divided between admiration for Dr. Weiner and distrust of the hospital system.
