Episode notes
11 Years Of Unnecessary Treatment
- Scott Warwick lived 11 years under a stage 4 lung cancer diagnosis and endured continuous chemotherapy despite no biopsy proving cancer.
- Randy Sasek discovered missing pathology and later confirmed a fungal infection likely caused by chemotherapy before Scott died from treatment complications.
Volume-Based Pay Drives Overtreatment
- The U.S. fee-for-service system rewards volume through RVUs, creating perverse incentives to over-treat patients.
- Oncologists can profit massively from routine chemo codes that insurers rarely scrutinize, enabling exploitation.
Cult-Like Loyalty Shields Abuse
- Weiner cultivated fierce loyalty by gifting staff and paying bonuses, creating a protective culture that insulated him from scrutiny.
- That internal support helped delay disciplinary action and amplified community defenses when allegations surfaced.
