Stolen, counterfeit and contaminated medicine is increasingly turning up on the shelves of AmericaÌ¢âÂã¢s hospitals and pharmacies, endangering patients. Investigative reporter Katherine Eban will discuss her groundbreaking book, Dangerous Doses, which follows a rag-tag team of investigators as they track down counterfeiters on the streets of Miami and uncover a chain of fraud that stretches to the highest levels of multibillion-dollar prescription drug distribution companies. In a story that has shaken the medical community, Eban shows us how, when we most need protection, we may be most at risk.
