The Mesh Mill: How Scammers Took Advantage of Women's Pain
About this episode
The episode explores how scammers exploited women's health crises through a fraudulent medical scheme.
Shortly after Christmas, Sharon gets a terrifying call. A stranger tells her the pelvic mesh inside her body has been recalled. It's a “ticking time bomb," and she needs emergency surgery to remove it. So Sharon flies to Florida. What she’s walking into is a scam embedded in America’s mass tort machine: stolen medical data, a call center, and huge profits powered by the pain of women like Sharon.
