When you put your body in the hands of a surgeon, you assume your doctor will do you no harm. I'm looking at the surgery board for tomorrow, going, these people are fucked. You assume your doctor is in this for something more than just money. The patients were never a priority. They were a chest piece in this whole game. So when greed replaces care, something absolutely insane happens. One doctor says, yeah, I did a lumbar fusion. My kickback was 25,000 and the other doctors go and while I only got 12,000 because I did a neck, this is a story about a massive web of fraud and deception. It involved dozens of doctors, lawyers and medical professionals all over Southern California. A fraud worth over $1 billion.
Patients were committing suicide, losing their homes, losing their marriages, proven that they had counterfeit screws in their body. That was a fact. I would catch him at night crying. This is a big buff guy and it just broke my heart. It would take blackmail, subterfuge, spy work and years to uncover the extent of the crimes. I got five or six female FBI agents to play medical marketers, wire them up for recording devices and just sat back and let these doctors and attorneys talk about how much money they made doing all these bad things. From Sony Music Entertainment and Western Sound, this is Dr. Billions. Los Angeles is the training ground for all fraud in the United States. I'm Benadair. Dr. Billions is coming October 1st to the binge. Search for Dr. Billions wherever you get your podcasts. Subscribe to the binge, can listen to all episodes, all at once, at free.
I'm disgusted that I ever even shook these people's hands.
