A bombshell Four Corners investigation has sent shockwaves through the endometriosis community, revealing allegations of "unnecessary and excessive" surgeries performed by a prominent Melbourne surgeon.

With claims that organs were removed from patients whose pathology showed no trace of disease, the Victorian Government has now referred the matter to the police.

We speak with one of the Doctor's former patients about the devastating emotional toll of these revelations and the fear that this scandal will make it even harder for women with chronic pain to be taken seriously by the medical establishment.

And in headlines today, Australia is being accused of dodging questions about the legality of US-Israeli strikes on Iran; The UN says the bombing of an Iranian school must be investigated as a possible war crime; the Kyle and Jackie O show is no more, Zendaya's Mum seems to support Law Roach's claims her daughter and Tom Holland are married; Family Planning, the organisation that brought the contraceptive pill to Australia in the 1960s is celebrating 100 years today; Romantasy fans are on the edge of their seats with the announcement that ACOTAR author Sarah J Maas is about to appear on the Call Her Daddy podcast
