In Episode 1 of Credentialing Chronicles, titled "Second Chances or Red Flags?", Shannen and Nyleen expose a jaw-dropping case that will make you question everything you thought you knew about doctor accountability.
An ER doctor convicted of brutal domestic violence… yet still holding an active, unrestricted medical license. How does this happen? Why aren’t patients warned? And who’s responsible for keeping tabs on the people we trust with our lives?
Join us as we peel back the layers of medical credentialing, revealing the loopholes, self-reporting gaps, and behind-the-scenes politics that let red flags slip through the cracks. Should doctors like this get second chances—or are some offenses unforgivable?
Listen now. Decide for yourself. And ask: How safe are we, really?
