We often assume our doctors have our best interest at heart...but what happens when they don't?
Derika Moses thought surgery would end her pain. After wrecking her back at work, she had her spine fused. But instead of getting better, she got worse. No one could tell her why she was in so much agony.
Then a letter showed up in the mail. The hardware holding her spine together might be counterfeit. Not sterile. Not FDA approved. Made in a machine shop.
She was poisoned. And Derika wasn’t the only one. She was one of thousands.
Doctor Billions pulls back the curtain on one of the largest, most evil healthcare frauds in U.S. history: a billion-dollar machine that turned patients into profit, powered by dozens of doctors, lawyers and healthcare insiders across the country.
And at the center of it all: an elusive doctor with a plan to turn a Long Beach hospital into a money-making haven for back surgeons at the expense of innocent patients.
As one whistleblower put it: “I’m looking at the surgery board for tomorrow going, ‘These people are f***ed.’”
