S01 Bonus: Did this happen to you?

Yale University faces intense scrutiny regarding its institutional accountability following a drug diversion scandal at its fertility clinic. While the university possesses a $40 billion endowment and employs world-class experts, it allegedly failed to maintain basic security protocols for addictive substances like fentanyl. Leah, a Yale lecturer and former patient, highlights a stark contradiction: the university enforces rigid, bureaucratic controls over mundane office supplies like file folders and pencils, yet allowed a "bad egg" employee to compromise patient safety. This systemic failure forced women to undergo painful procedures without proper anesthesia, leading to a legal and ethical battle to hold the institution responsible. The narrative shifts from individual criminal actions to the broader responsibility of powerful organizations to protect those in their care, suggesting that blaming a single employee is an insufficient response to such a profound breach of medical trust.
