Had women used insurance and a real hospital, it would have cost them somewhere between $600 and $1,000. A spin through the removal mill ran $69,000 to $120,000.

...The same doctors appeared in case after case.

Many women told they couldn’t use their insurance, which forced them to take out medical liens against their future settlement proceeds at strip-you-bare rates.

BARB SHEPARD A school bus driver from Claremont, New Hampshire, and mother of two grown boys, she thought she was getting help for her medical device. Instead, she got a plane ticket to Florida and a surgeon she’d never met. The scare tactics worked. The surgery didn’t.

These aren’t just statistics—they’re stories of women like Jerri, Sharon, and Barb who were manipulated by predatory call centers into unnecessary surgeries while lawyers, funders, and doctors profited from their pain.

The real con? It’s what happens after you sign up.
In THE PAIN BROKERS, I expose a criminal conspiracy that preyed on over 100,000 women.

Like Death in Mud Lick, The Pain Brokers exposes the human cost of profit-driven systems--this time in women's health and mass torts.

It's about greed, justice, and the women caught in between.
