Summary:

A rare prison interview with a Florida pain clinic doctor sentenced to 157 years for the sale of opioids. While hundreds of doctors have been imprisoned for their role in the opioid epidemic, CEOs from drug manufacturers and drug distributors have yet to be charged, despite their internal knowledge of unscrupulous doctors and clinics. Companies like Mallinckrodt, one of the country's largest opioid suppliers, face little more than paltry settlements due to fearful Justice Department employees. Includes interviews with: Barry Schultz, imprisoned doctor; Dave Aronberg, Florida state's attorney; Carol Tain, mother to David, who died of overdose from pills prescribed by Dr. Schultz; Jim Rafelski, former DEA agent. Includes commentary from Dr. Russell Portenoy, President of American Pain Society.
