There’s a reason the History Channel has produced hundreds of documentaries about Hitler but only a few about Dwight D. Eisenhower. Bad guys (and gals) are eternally fascinating. Behind the Bastards dives in past the Cliffs Notes of the worst humans in history and exposes the bizarre realities of their lives. Listeners will learn about the young adult novels that helped Hitler form his monstrous ideology, the founder of Blackwater’s insane quest to build his own Air Force, the bizarre lives of the sons and daughters of dictators and Saddam Hussein’s side career as a trashy romance novelist.
New episodes twice a week on iHeartRadio.

"they probably haven't seen house"
actually house is having a great resurgence among the zoomers. we're really into house/wilson yaoi rn
What a cursed combination of words
The tumblr girlies have been OBSESSED with House/Wilson yaoi the last year or so. I've seen some really good edits.
Wilson died of cancer, so...
Wow! Terrible!
I love it
I'm just here to scream in the void.
Well I have seen your comment so you are no longer alone in the void
Please scream inside your heart
i’ll scream with you if it’s fine by you
When you scream into the void, the void screams also into you.
I can hear it now... it's screaming "your keys are under the sofa you dumbass"
Be careful, lest the void scream back at you, or call the police with a noise complaint.
Speaking of fake doctors. In my town there is a chiropractor that offers services for your dog. Quack doctor and quack veterinarian in one.
Iemme bring my duck in for maximum quackception
I used to have one of those only he would chiropractor all animals including, but not limited to, horses
MDs are way more quacks than chiropractors on average
Harvard said in 2014 that 85-89% of US pharmaceuticals fall between net harmful ( poison) to not one iota better than the much cheaper generic drug that they compete with ( pure grift )
@@paulsansonetti7410 that's just because with a lot of drugs the patent has expired and so different companies can sell drugs with the exact same formula. It doesn't have anything to do with MDs, it's just copyright
@@ah-sh9dw no the point is almost 90% of what they push falls between poison and a grift
They do very little else
The way we treat mental illness,cancer,obesity/diabetes etc is basically completely bullshit
Just because you don't care to admit this doesn't make it not true
Vioxx killed approximately 500k
The only award I need is the Banking Excellence Award I stole from a Community Service Job Site while serving my community after my shoplifting conviction.
That required multiple levels of conviction and clearly displayed some form of excellence. I say you earned that one with interest.
@GameSetPatch I'm sure there's a way to make it sound legal, but we got loaned out one weekend to help clear a bank that was going to be demolished or renovated or something. Literally told "if it's not nailed down, throw it out the window (into the chute to the dumpster). And there was a big glass award just sitting there. As far as we knew, to be thrown away.
Not all heroes wear capes
👑
We need a PO box address to send little plastic award cups to Robert.
All reading the inscription: "Good work Buddy"
When the little sociopath masquerading as a doctor referred the cops to his parents to vouch for him after he got caught, it reminded me of the Sam Bankman-Fried story.
I stood and cheered when Robert said “Malachi Love-Robinson”
This is a great day for podcasting.
Even as a regular listener of this show, I don't often think "Wow, now there's a person who should be thrown off the Sears Tower", and yet here we are.
I really like these "potpourri" episodes. It can be tough to keep facts straight after a couple episodes of someone's life, but with episodes like this, if I zone out for a second, I can still understand what's going on.
Those bastards do put the "pourri" in the pot-pourri ("pourri" means rotten in french)
Another guy to cover might be James Grigson, the Texas psychiatrist who testified at over a hundred death-penalty trials that the defendant was a sociopath who would absolutely do it again if allowed out, thus obtaining the death penalty. The American Psychiatric Association expelled him in 1995.
To get expelled from the APA you need to do worse than enhanced interrogation methods😂
Speaking as someone who has spent most of their life dealing with the medical system, I think I can see the radiologist's thought process here. A throwaway line in your records like "anxious" or "noncompliant" can follow you around for years, making it impossible to get proper treatment or diagnosis, even if it later turns out the person who said it was wrong and bad at their job. I can't imagine the damage it would do to a 21yr old girl's life to have an Alzheimer's diagnosis in her records, even if it did turn out (years later) to be fraudulent. Frankly, most doctors aren't going to be looking that closely.
Yeah, I’ve also spent a lot of my life dealing with the medical system and definitely agree with your assessment of the radiologist. He did the right thing in my opinion.
I have a personality disorder diagnosis that was given by psychiatrist during a ONE HOUR fitness for duty assessment for work that has stuck with me for more than 10 years. This is despite my medical team that had known and been treating me for years providing proof to the contrary. But yeah, it still comes up all these years later and I hate it.
(Also no hate to those with personality disorders! I’m pissed about the misdiagnosis not the PD).
How would that diagnosis jive with the world-famous US insurance system?
“Until he went into the garage and shot himself”
I dunno if I’ve heard a more heartbreaking story dude
If you want bloodsport with low risk of brain injury may I recommend shin kicking?
"Hello. I'm Dr. Stupid. I'm going to take out your liver bones." - Ralph Wiggum
NOT DOCTOR FUCKING LOVE, HE LITERALLY CAN'T BE STOPPED. I screamed when you said his name. shout out to ricky and eliott
Gotta love the YT algorithm. I listened to this podcast and 5 minutes later I got an ad peddling some quack cure for memory loss. What happened to Google's "don't be evil" pledge?
Money
Yeah it didn't take long for them to drop that shit. Remember, corporations are never ever your friend and are always evil. Every time.
What does evil mean really?😂
If you're watching this video then clearly you take an interest in quack medicine and might be interested in purchasing some
"Don't be Evil." got removed when the company restructured back in 2015.
I would love to hear more episodes with Dr. Kaveh, hearing a genuinely good doctor groan and scream in emotional pain at the bastards of the world really makes my day. Also he's legitimately funny and I hope he's doing good in life!
i dont have insider knowledge on how medical records work but i think they would destroy them to not have documentation of a diagnosis like that floating around. a diagnosis of alzheimers would affect medical/car/life insurance and could possibly be used to gain control over someone through a conservatorship or similar, many other things. a diagnosis of alzheimers can be whipped out to claim someone is mentally incompetent and cant make their own decisions.
the funny thing is, at the end they say that' make a decent netflix documentary. There is actually a netflix fiction called I care a lot with rosamund Pyke and Peter Dinklage that's about a very similar scheme. I came a few years ago.
20 years ago, Mom was diagnosed with dementia. They gave us the information, as near as I (who got it second hand) can tell, as “most likely Alzheimer’s if so we predict…”. But there’s many things that cause similar symptoms. Mom had temporarily lost blood flow from a cause that was halted, as current guess. Vascular dementia varies wildly but Mom knows a handful of core facts about her handful of core people. If I start with “your cousin/aunt/nephew X” she knows they exist and are loved and examines the picture. My cousin’s teenagers aren’t on her map.
She knows I sew, asks if I made my garment. Asks what every t-shirt means each time (“(dad) and (me) love science fiction for some reason” is on the core list so “you would never have followed this show” is an acceptable answer. One does buy carefully when one will explain the joke/cause/etc every. Time.). Knows Auntie travels, asks her if she’s been where HGTV is showing.
Can’t give her most basic health history including why she’s a paraplegic or that she has an ostomy bag and pacemaker. EMTs have let me ride along (in front) because of this.
We gave her some coconut oil in food since maybe it had the ketones and maybe some damaged brain cells could burn that better than sugars, a blind guess on why that lady’s husband supposedly yada yada. Dad’s a biochemist and it was “no data, but no evidence of harm”. Definitely not the reason she’s not worse. That would be the pacemaker
Anyway I was in the dementia community then and it didn’t work like thay
Listened to this and got to the part where Robert said people wouldn't get bit by spiders and was thinking about bee venom therapy.
So yeah people probably would get bitten by spiders if the right conman told them to.
The little groan reaction at 32:50 had me rolling
Like Tina from Bob's Burgers
You wouldn't be able to call yourself an award-winning journalist, but you could probably claim to be "prestigious" because there's no legal definition for that
I could give then an award, then they would be award winning
i’m a zoomer and i LOVE house md. my friends all at least know of it, i grew up with it. started watching it at like 6? i don’t think this negatively impacted me, not at all.
Internet Today hall of famer “Dr”. Malachi Love Robinson
Feels so weird to hear him mentioned somewhere else
@@tomatoaspect9154 i get legit happy every time he’s brought up anywhere, which is weird cause he sucks so bad.
I've been following the Dr. Love story for such a long time, I was there for every twist and turn.
House? Grey's Anatomy? Pah! Everyone knows that the best place to get your cultural concepts of medicine is Scrubs
I got "fired" by my dentist this year; apparently my teeth are too "complex" for them?
When my dad was going through cancer treatments, his doctor would make house calls. It ment alot to our whole family.
Has BTB ever done an episode on Dr. Diane Humenansky,? Notorious crank psychiatrist whose story broke sometime in the early-to-mid-90s I think. Not a case that fits the theme Robert was building to here but there is a nice tie-in to Satanic Panic.
They have a couple parts on the Satanic Panic in total, so she might be part of those
Obviously all medical scams are awful, but I think it's especially heinous to prey on people with memory issues. I only experience comparatively light ones and it still has impacted my ability to trust myself and others, I can't imagine what it must be like to deal with that AND the fact that a medical professional abused my trust in this way.
Podcast trivia time: we can thank the Québec language laws for giving us the French words for walkman (baladeur) and by extension, podcast (baladodiffusion or just 'balado' for short.) Baladeur comes from the verb "balader" which means "to stroll." (Diffusion is the French word for 'broadcast.') These are not words that exist in France or other parts of Europe that speak French. They are entirely invented by the Québec government to minimize the penetrance of English words ("anglicismes") in to Québecois French.
So, if you're a grifter/con artist, you hit every mark for every single penny that you can get. Why add more charges to get less money. Besides, the more they lose, the more likely they are to just eat it and not admit to being scammed. A good con artist would take several million from a multi-millionaire, maybe two, and then head to wherever.
The last thing you want is a string of forty fifty people who you scammed for a thousand dollars each. That's like ten thousand years in jail. Scam, one person out of fifty thousand yeah, that's jail time, but good behavior nonviolent offender... I'm only saying this because if you are worried about being grifted, the person will seem like a friend. Not like someone on the street trying to trade fifty bucks for a winning lottery ticket.
i think the radiologist just badly phrased removing the bs diagnosis from his daughter's records
"Paging Doctor Love? Is Doctor Love in the house?"
That's an actual scene in a Jeff Goldblum film. "Earth Girls Are Easy" with Gena Davis. Classic late 80s comedy.
He's an alien who at one point impersonates a Doctor.
And you guessed it - he gives his name as "Love".
I thought of the same character when they said the kid's name. 😂
As an Internet Today fan I cheered when they brought up Malachi Love Robinson
As someone currently living in the state of Oklahoma, he's not wrong 😬
Y'all i've been listening through iHeart radio for years, i never knew you had a youtube channel
Destroying those medical records for that guys daughter is presumably for fear of insurance premiums being raised based on the diagnosis or the company penalizing her for not disclosing the diagnosis. But still, you can just have documentation from a real doctor saying the diagnosis was BS.
I was thinking it might've something of a "Hey, all these medical records from her are complete bullshit. It could cause issues if your latest physician's see them without the understanding that it's all bullshit."
1:00:17 this is obviously to protect her from being denied healthcare coverage and life insurance. Since this was 2013 Obamacare (which got rid of the rule where insurance companies could drop your coverage under anything they could claim to be a known preexisting condition) has only just taken effect, the supreme Court hadn't yet ruled if it was legal plus every Republican was promising to k ill it as soon as possible so the doctor was trying to protect his daughter from the insurance companies. My uncle is a lawyer and pre Obamacare he used to sue insurance companies to make them cover really expensive treatments for people who were like in the top 20% of earners and he saw this very often with the families of doctors. It was the only thing of marginal value that Obama ever did, sadly.
Wow, amazing to see one of ETC news/Internet Today guys rogue gallery member get an episode.
OH Shit, i'm so used to catching these months or years after the fact. I WANT THE REEEEEEST.
Robert Evans, by the power vested in me by Inanna, Queen of Heaven and Earth, I hereby award you the Spider Church Award For Operational Excellence In Podcasting
new episode, hell yeah
I've won a ton of awards that other people received, lol

8:57 Bro! This kid was all over the major meme sites back when the news broke. He later got popped for financially abusing his relatives for cars and shit
Just make Paintball an olympic sport
This is the first time I've heard of turmeric for the liver.
I've only ever heard about it for joint inflammation.
Leftist is bestist
And right is for.. wights? I'll figure it out later.
@@meatmobileright is shite
@@meatmobileright is shite
Right ain't aight.
if you’re misdiagnosed and its put in your medical record, can’t some insurance company make you pay higher rates because you’re “officially sick” down the line?
I'd like to say there is at least one positive thing that comes OUT of Galveston; scuba-diving trips into the Caribbean. In 1996, my father and I went for a 3-day trip on a live-aboard (smallish size ship, crew of 4) with about a dozen other scuba-divers. We saw a variety of underwater critters including sharks, several large barracuda, and one giant manta ray. That being said, every moment on shore was like being in a third-world country, so...yay ocean?
WOW…he looked like he was in middle school
Boy howdy!
Would it be wrong to start a rumor claiming that spider venom can cure erectile dysfunction? I don't want to make any money or get famous or anything, I just think it'll be funny to read stories about people putting spiders on their junk.
You're probably kidding, but I'll take it seriously. Do you really wanna be responsible for that? Death or permanent injury is very likely. Certainly a lot of pain. If it was someone you knew and liked at least a little, and some rando on the Internet convinced them to put spiders on their junk, or something equally injurious, how would you feel about that rando? Especially when the only benefit you expect anyone to get is your own personal gratification.
Zoomers definitely know what House is lol.
How dare you fail to mention the best thing from New Jersey, Wawa
Hello friends!
28:00 Logically, I know this isn't what it means, but... To me, "consulting but not examining" patients means you have to wear a blindfold.
So, hearing the first story. Made me think "when did "catch me if you can" come out?
2002 btw if anyone else is wondering
Long time listener of your podcast. It's a thing when I walk through my city.The times I had to stop dead in my tracks because this this utter evil person, when *spoilers* a person committed suicide because of this greed, and that it seems really easy to be this type of scammer. I will listen to part 2, but after a few drinks, cause man, creating victims out of whole cloth like that just to make a buck... there is a running theme to your show, and these people are the worst of the worst.
I only have one thing to point out: The reason they probably Destroyed the Medical Records (From the misdiagnosis) were probably so they *_wouldn't make it into a legitimate medical file on her_* , because it's *_almost fucking impossible_* to get that out once it is in - it might be slightly easier now that they're mostly Electronic and Centralized, but definitely not back then.
Also: *_Laughs out loud at the idea that doctors don't take offense when you ask for a second opinion_*
Would destroying medical records from a very fraudulent doctor be useful towards future visits to medical professionals being untainted by said fraudulent data?
A shame no one can remember their names. It was the perfect crime.
"Why would the radiologist had his daughter's medical records destroyed and recommended Smith do the same?"
Spoken like people who have never had a single diagnosis - whether disproven or not - used against them in later medical settings. ("I see here you have anxiety/bipolar/schizophrenia/adhd/depression, so it's probably just psychosomatic.")
Now this is clickbate!!!!!!!!!!

Kaveh, Kaiser Permanente, who you work defraud Medicare and Medicaid on a daily basis. So hold your selective outrage for someone else defrauding Medicare and Medicaid.
Actually, I have to say that if my accountant was a member of the American Association of Drugless Practitioners, I'd feel pretty good about that. I'm not a big drug guy myself, but it does seem like most drugs don't really make you better at arithmetic, y'know?
