Introducing Bad Blood: The Final Chapter

After a work injury, Derika Moses had her spine fused. Then her pain got worse. Years later, a letter arrived. The hardware in her back might be counterfeit. Not sterile. Not FDA approved. Made in a dingy machine shop in Southern California.  She wasn't the only one. Thousands of patients. Dozens of doctors, lawyers and healthcare workers.

Peabody Award-winning journalist Ben Adair follows the money and finds the people who paid for it with their bodies. Listen to all of Doctor Billions now, ad-free, by subscribing to The Binge.
