    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. 

    She wasn't the only one. Thousands of patients. Dozens of doctors, lawyers and healthcare workers. One of the largest healthcare frauds in U.S. history, run out of a Long Beach hospital by an elusive man...

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