In this summer's "Best of MBM" series we replay the revealing conversation from August 2023 with Dr. Dove Gebien, a former ER doctor who faced his addiction to fentanyl. Join us as he shares his personal journey, from his abuse of fentanyl to a near-fatal overdose and an inspiring path to recovery. As a lead plaintiff in a big pharma class action lawsuit, he shares his opinion about pharmaceutical companies like Purdue Pharma exploiting doctors and presenting skewed research in an effort to influence prescription practices.
Hosts Greg and Rob discuss Dr. Gebien’s journey and how they relate to his story. They also talk about the recently released Netflix series "Painkiller," which examines Purdue Pharma, the Sackler family and the dark underbelly of the opioid crisis.
