Tim Pilleri & Lance Reenstierna have a eye-opening conversation with author and journalist, Philip Eil. Prescription for Pain is Eil's debut, an investigation lasting over a decade, with some personal ties.
Eil introduces us to Paul Volkman, his father’s old classmate, who once seemed destined for greatness after earning his MD and his PhD from the prestigious University of Chicago, but is now serving four consecutive life sentences at a federal prison in Arizona for his involvement and subsequent deaths connected to an Ohio-based pill mill.
