A struggling Chicago hospital did just about anything to stay afloat including performing hundreds of unnecessary tests and procedures on patients. In the end, multiple patients were dead and its former owner fled the country. Left behind was an abandoned hospital that became a magnet for crime and a symbol of egregious insurance fraud.

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 hospital opened in 1929 and is the birthplace of Hillary Clinton and John Wayne Gacy. It was Chicago's premiere medical facility for 60 years until a new owner took over. Hear the shocking story of how the hospital's former owner managed to evade the law and why many believe he got away with it.

Written, produced and narrated by Chicago radio veterans Todd Ganz and Stephani Young. Visit https://ifthewallscouldtalkpodcast.com for more haunting pictures and details.
