About this listen

In this episode, we take a hard look at one of medicine’s most shameful secrets—the Tuskegee Syphilis Study. How did a 40-year “experiment” leave hundreds of African American men untreated for syphilis under the guise of science? We’ll break down the twisted logic, the ethical disasters, and how this scandal still haunts public trust today. It's a cautionary tale of what happens when science goes rogue and compassion takes a back seat.
