Video Description
“Someone comes along and says, ‘Trust me, I'm a doctor, I'll take your pain away’, you would believe them.” More than three million Australians are living with chronic pain. It’s become a breeding ground for exploitation and lives are being put at risk. In a major investigation, Four Corners brings together a team of international experts to look inside the multi-billion-dollar pain industry and expose the ugly side of medicine. With access to data from thousands of patients, ABC Investigations reporter Adele Ferguson reveals how some medical professionals are able to drain our health system. She also meets the patients who are in worse pain after having spinal surgery, including spinal cord stimulators. #4Corners #ABCNewsIndepth #ABCNewsAustralia
