*BONUS* A Trial By Podcast presents- Dr. Farid Fata
from Wife of Crime · host Jess & Russ
Imagine being told you have cancer—a diagnosis that instantly upends your life—and then enduring months or even years of brutal chemotherapy. Now imagine learning that your doctor forced you to undergo three to four times the standard amount of treatment, or kept you on chemotherapy long after you were in remission, all while you believed you were still fighting for your life. Worst of all, imagine discovering that you never had cancer at all—and that your doctor knew it the entire time. These nightmares became reality for hundreds of patients in Michigan under the care of Dr. Farid Fata, an oncologist who betrayed the very people who trusted him with their lives. In one of the most egregious cases of medical fraud in U.S. history, Fata subjected healthy patients—or those with minor, manageable conditions—to unnecessary and devastating cancer treatments, all to enrich himself. This is the rise and fall of Dr. Farid Fata.
