What happens when a doctor’s prescription pad becomes more powerful than a drug cartel? In this episode, we dive into the controversial story of Dr. William Hurwitz, the physician once dubbed a pioneer of pain management — and later accused of running what many called a pill mill. From handing out OxyContin, Percocet, and other narcotics like candy, to the legal firestorm that made him both a hero to chronic pain patients and a villain in the opioid crisis, we break down the blurred line between treatment and addiction. Was Dr. Hurwitz a reckless prescriber, a scapegoat for Big Pharma’s sins, or just the wrong doctor in the wrong era? Tune in as we explore the darkly comic side of America’s prescription drug epidemic.
