Plot Synopsis

Executive produced by Joe Berlinger, DOCTOR'S ORDERS is a three-part docuseries that chronicles the 2012 murder of radio host April Kauffman, as told by informant Andrew "Chef" Glick. April Kauffman and her husband Dr. James Kauffman, were revered as a power couple in an affluent Atlantic City, NJ suburb. She was a beloved local radio host, and he was a respected endocrinologist. When April was found shot dead in her home, her daughter, Kimberly Pack, suspected her stepfather, Dr. Kauffman. But for five years no one questioned him. Then in 2017 when Andrew "Chef" Glick is busted with enough drugs and illegal guns to put him away for 40 years, he makes the gut-wrenching decision to rat on his Pagan's Motorcycle Club brother who masterminded the murder for Dr. Kauffman. In a series of risky meetings, Andrew wears hidden cameras and audio recorders as they talk about April's murder, the drug operation, and a plot to silence Dr. Kauffman by killing him in jail. The entire sordid story is revealed, for the first time ever, through Andrew's commentary and the real-time audio and video recordings. All three episodes of DOCTOR'S ORDERS dropped on Friday, September 3, 2021 on discovery+. DOCTOR'S ORDERS made its linear television debut on Sunday, November 28, 2021 from 9pm-Midnight ET/PT, as Investigation Discovery aired all three episodes back to back.
