Bad medicine : catching New York's deadliest pill pusher / Charlotte Bismuth.
"The shocking story of New York's most infamous pill-pushing doctor, written by the prosecutor who brought him down in a landmark and precedent-setting case in the fight against opiod addiction"-- Provided by publisher.
"In 2010, a brave whistleblower alerted the police to Dr. Stan Li's corrupt pain management clinic in Queens, New York. Li spent years supplying more than seventy patients a day with oxycodone and Xanax, trading prescriptions for cash. Emergency room doctors, psychiatrists, and desperate family members warned him that his patients were at risk of death but he would not stop. In Bad Medicine, former prosecutor Charlotte Bismuth meticulously recounts the jaw dropping details of this criminal case that would span four years, culminating in a landmark trial. As a new assistant district attorney and single mother, Bismuth worked tirelessly with her team to bring Dr. Li to justice. Bad Medicine is a chilling story of corruption and greed and an important look at the role individual doctors play in America's opioid epidemic." -- inside front jacket flap.
