If the Walls Could Talk Podcast ™ – Episode 11: “Q&A” 

The final years of the Edgewater Hospital saga can be long, complicated and sometimes difficult to understand. Although we’ve covered the bulk of the scandals and legal issues from those years in If the Walls Could Talk Podcast™, there’s certainly plenty more to the story than we had time to present. We’ve received dozens of your questions and, in Episode 11: “Q&A”, we’ll answer several of your questions about Edgewater Hospital and If the Walls Could Talk Podcast™. Listen as we tackle questions such as:

• Is it true that one of Edgewater Hospital’s doctors currently is sitting on Death Row?
• Was Edgewater Hospital’s demise a product of mismanagement or a symptom of a greater problem with our medical system?
• Why did redevelopment of the hospital campus take so long?
• Did some teenagers get electrocuted and die after gaining access to the hospital’s roof at some point after it closed?
• Why did Peter Rogan receive such a light sentence and how much money has he repaid to the government and Dexia Bank?
• Other than the doctors you mentioned, did authorities bring charges against anyone else…like nurses or the support staff?
• What happened to Edgewater’s hyperbaric chamber? Is the building that housed it still there?
• Were employees surprised to find out the hospital closed?
• Wasn’t there an Edgewater nurse who was murdered by another employee and whose ghost came back from the dead to solve her murder?

If the Walls Could Talk Podcast™

Support us on PATREON and hear this week’s Second Opinion episode. Stephani and Todd answer a handful of questions about If the Walls Could Talk Podcast™ that came in after this episode originally aired. We’ll explore a curious lawsuit brought on against someone who spoke up against Edgewater Hospital and the curious connection between the lawyer who filed the lawsuit and Peter Rogan.

Kickbacks and scandals at Edgewater Hospital weren’t just limited to the years with Peter Rogan at the helm. They also happened during Dr. Mazel’s 50+ years of leading the hospital. Back in the 1960s, Mazel was accused of shaking down contractors for kickbacks and pocketing the money. Mazel claims he used the money to fund his research and further the growth of the hospital. He was charged with tax evasion and a trial followed. Stephani and Todd break down what ultimately happened and why the hospital punished him…only to reverse course shortly afterward.

A listener presented us with some fancy serving dishes and cups that once were used in the hospital’s private suites. They’re etched with the word “Mazel House”. We’ll share some pictures and reveal the odd place where he found them. We’ll also explain why a sound wave now hangs in our living room and why a photo of Edgewater Hospital now lives in our kitchen.
