About this product
Product Information
For fans of Dopesick and Bad Blood , a gripping memoir by the prosecutor who put New York's most infamous "dirty doctor" behind bars in a landmark case in the country's fight against those who seek to profit from an epidemic of opioid addiction. Treating up to ninety patients a day, Dr. Stan Li, a pain management physician in New York City, racked up over $450,000 in just over three years by writing controlled substance prescriptions from his basement clinic. Seduced by money and fueled by a callous disregard for those in his care, Dr. Li fed a deadly network of addiction, responsible for the fatal overdoses of two people and endangering the lives of countless more. He dodged scrutiny until a brave overdose survivor and former patient stepped forward to alert the NYPD, triggering a groundbreaking and arduous investigation. Just as prosecutors uncovered the first fatalities and discovered that they were facing a public health emergency, one of Dr. Li's addicted patients murdered four innocent people in a Long Island pharmacy. The horrific act of violence shocked New Yorkers, lawmakers, and the nation, spurring an urgent call to action. Now, Charlotte Bismuth, the prosecutor who helped try Dr. Li, recounts the exhaustive detective work and trial that resulted in the landmark manslaughter conviction for this killer in a white coat. Meticulously constructed from trial transcripts and court documents, amplified by personal recollections, Bismuth reveals a story of greed, grit, loss, and hope, turning the spotlight on the national tragedy occurring under our watch--and on those who step up to the fight while others turn a blind eye for the sake of greed.

Reviews
"A spellbinding story about bringing a deadly doctor to justice." --Patricia McCormick, two-time National Book Award finalist and New York Times bestelling author, "BAD MEDICINE offers a measured and powerful account of the landmark case that helped shape our ongoing national response to the opioid crisis. Bismuth thoughtfully pivots between the legal process, discussions of public health, and compelling personal narratives--successfully illustrating the scale and complexity of this issue. The story will leave readers angry, informed, and most importantly inspired to seek justice and change." --Former U.S. Rep. Patrick J. Kennedy, founder of The Kennedy Forum, New York Times bestselling author of A COMMON STRUGGLE, "From the victims of unscrupulous doctors to the detectives who built the investigation to the nail-biting trial of the criminal doctor, Bad Medicine is a must-read. " --Gerald Posner, New York Times bestselling author of God's Bankers and Pharma, " Bad Medicine is altogether a personal, emotional, brilliant collection of reporting." -- Shondaland, In what she calls "a memoir from the trenches," former prosecutor Bismuth shares her recollections of working on the four-year investigation and 18-week trial of a pill-pushing medical doctor...The takeaways? Prosecutors are human, and bad doctors can destroy lives. -- Booklist, "BAD MEDICINE is a taut exploration of America's deadly battle with opioid addiction--an unnerving and inspirational firecracker of a book." --Karen Abbott, New York Times bestselling author of The Ghosts of Eden Park, "This page-turning true detective story blew my mind. Charlotte Bismuth shows, in brilliant detail, what happens when patients become victims. BAD MEDICINE is timely and important; I can't recommend it loudly enough." --Mona Hanna-Attisha MD MPH, author of What The Eyes Don't See, Flint whistleblower

Item was delivered as advertised however it was not delivered in a box which allowed it to receive some minor damage. Book was in 2 very durable form fitted vinyl/plastic bags which would have been great had then been placed in a box to protect it. Seller was very easy to discuss issue with and the damage is slight. I would buy again from this seller.
