When Doctors Become Weapons: The Notebook That Witnessed Torture
-

Grim proof that medicine can be twisted into an instrument of destruction: a small clinical notebook from Tuol Sleng records procedures and outcomes on at least seventeen people labeled as human experiments. How did professional medical practice become state-sanctioned torture, and what can one battered exercise-book tell us about the structures that made it possible?
In this episode, we follow a single object - the Tuol Sleng notebook - and trace the recurring mechanism by which physicians, institutions, and states convert care into harm across the twentieth century and beyond. From Phnom Penh to Manchuria, from Nazi death camps to Soviet psychiatric wards, the episode maps the legal and ethical responses and asks whether declarations and codes ever stopped the practice.
