Prescription for Pain: How a Once-Promising Doctor Became the “Pill Mill Killer”

Written in the tradition of I’ll Be Gone in the Dark, this true crime instant classic follows a journalist’s obsessive investigation into the doctor — a classmate of his father’s — who squandered his once-great potential and is now serving the opioid epidemic’s longest term for illegal prescriptions. Combines Dopesick‘s heartrending portrayal of opioid victims with Empire of Pain‘s interrogation of perpetrators.
