Getting Your Surgery Done in a Kitchen

Dr. John Ronald Brown performed sex reassignment surgery out of his house, hotel rooms and garages for trans women in the 70s. The California Board of Medical Quality Assurance looked into Dr. Brown and was shocked to realize that he'd worked with a fake veterinarian turned fake doctor and let this person perform surgery. They revoked his medical license for quote, gross negligence and competence and practicing unprofessional medicine which involved moral turpitude. Paul Siotti, who's like the very first journalist to dig into John and really like the source of 60% of the information for this podcast is one of my heroes.
