Introducing DOCTOR BILLIONS: What if your surgery was a scam?

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.

Peabody Award-winning journalist Ben Adair follows the money and finds the people who paid for it with their bodies.
