This episode unravels the shocking case of David Kwiatkowski, a traveling radiologic technician whose addiction to fentanyl sparked the largest hepatitis C outbreak in American history. For nearly a decade, Kwiatkowski moved between 16 hospitals across seven states, stealing pain medication intended for vulnerable patients and replacing it with saline-filled syringes contaminated with his blood. By the time authorities caught him, 45 patients had been infected with a potentially deadly virus.
