If the Walls Could Talk Podcast™
If the Walls Could Talk Podcast shares what happens when a group of bad apples take over a prominent Chicago hospital.
A struggling Chicago hospital does just about anything to stay afloat. Its patients were subjected to hundreds of unnecessary tests, procedures and surgeries. By the time the hospital shut down, multiple patients were dead and its former owner fled the country. Left behind was an abandoned hospital that became a magnet for crime and Urban Explorers.
If the Walls Could Talk recounts the true crimes and tangled history of Chicago’s Edgewater Hospital as told by former staff, patients, lawyers, and investigators.
The birthplace of Hillary Clinton and John Wayne Gacy, Edgewater Hospital opened in 1929 and was Chicago’s premiere medical facility for 60 years. But everything changed when a new owner took over in 1989. What happened there in the ’90s and 2000s muddied its once sterling reputation. Hear the shocking story of how its former owner managed to evade the law and why many believe he got away with it.
