Exposing An Abusive Doctor at Columbia University

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Sep 19, 2023

For years, Dr. Robert Hadden continued as a respected OB-GYN at Columbia University while assaulting hundreds of his patients. A new podcast and series of articles about the case expose Dr. Hadden's abuse, and tell the story of the victims seeking justice. We're joined by Laura Beil, journalist and host of the podcast, Exposed: Cover-Up at Columbia University, and Bianca Fortis, reporting fellow at ProPublica and co-author of the ProPublica and New York Magazine piece, "How Columbia Ignored Women, Undermined Prosecutors and Protected a Predator For More Than 20 Years."
