"...a fresh tale of medical cons. This time, Laura Beil puts Serhat Gumrukcu in the spotlight. The doctor caused a sensation when he claimed he could cure cancer and HIV but, as Beil slowly uncovers, his credentials didn’t quite match up to the multimillion dollar value of his bioscience company..."
