# Bitter Pill: The Doctor They Betrayed

> After losing his mother because his family couldn’t afford her medicine, Dr. Wade runs an underground clinic, selling his cancer drug to the poor for $200 a bottle and borrowing from loan sharks to cover the costs. Then his own patients turn on him, egged on by rival Tony Nova, a man Wade once saved. With backing from pharma giant Vantage, Wade clears his name and exposes Tony in court. Now his drug is FDA-approved, but it costs $5,000 a bottle. Can the patients who betrayed him afford it?
