Show Notes

Pushing the Pain is a gritty nonfiction forensic series that traces how a powerful fentanyl spray moved from a narrow medical purpose into widespread misuse through corporate pressure, financial incentives, and compromised judgment. Told with restraint and urgency, the story follows the path from sales targets and speaker fees to pharmacies, emergency rooms, and courtrooms, exposing how a system designed to manage pain instead amplified harm. This is not a story of a single villain, but of incentives strong enough to bend ethics, medicine, and trust until the consequences could no longer be contained.
