Dr. Death season 2, a Peacock original drama series, has brought to light a critical medico-legal scam committed by thoracic surgeon Paolo Macchiarini. Paolo treated several patients with severe tracheal damage and replaced their damaged windpipes with a synthetic-seeded artificial trachea, which had caused even further damage to the patients. In this eight-episode series, the portrayal of these patients by Paolo Macchiarini is based on real-life people who eventually failed to make it out alive. A terminal cancer patient named Christopher Lyle, a Russian dancer named Yulika Tulik, and a little kid named Hannah Warren all became guinea pigs in Paolo’s experiment with the stem cell trachea that eventually killed them all. Let’s discuss more about these patients, who have been portrayed in the series.
