Bitter Medicine: Two Doctors, Two Deaths, And A Small Town's Search For Justice Free Audiobook Download by Carlton Smith

Bitter Medicine is a powerful story of medical mismanagement and the ensuing ripple effect on one small Texas town. In the summer of 2009, Dr. Anna Ashcroft leaves her position as an Emergency Room physician in a small Texas town to join a prestigious university hospital in Dallas. Two days later, she is pronounced dead from kidney failure. Her death seemed to be just another routine case, until it leads to the realization that all of her patients were receiving deadly doses of pain medication and sedatives even though they had not been prescribed any such drugs by their physicians. Bitter Medicine tells the story of how Dr. Anna's sudden death prompted questions about how doctors were practicing medicine in this small community and led to a series of revelations about negligence and downright misconduct

A gripping work of investigative journalism uncovering the roots of a long-standing and deeply rooted racial divide in a small town, Bitter Medicine follows two doctors who ended up dying of the same rare disease. Carlton Smith, an African-American surgeon, was apparently poisoned by methyl alcohol after spending time with Dr. Larry Hamilton, a white dentist. The story takes readers into how politics and racism shaped the town and how it dealt with its history. This audiobook is narrated by Patrick Lawlor and features 24-hour narration by four actors based on key characters in the story: Carlton Smith, his wife Sarah; Dr. Larry Hamilton; Adam Fielding, a reporter for The Washington Post; and Carl Hodge, who works for Watertown City Hall

When two doctors die in a small town, and the town can't afford to hire its own forensic team, they have to turn to the FBI. Agent Carlton Smith is determined to solve the mystery of why these two young doctors died when he's not even sure what kind of deaths are even possible for this town.

In the summer of 2016, a small town in North Carolina was hit with a tragedy when two doctors who had been practicing in Chapel Hill for decades suddenly died. The cause of death was never determined but some people suspected that their deaths might be related to the medicine they'd prescribed.

Carlton Smith's book follows the case of two young doctors, Dr. Anthony Villegas and Dr. Benjamin Livingston, who are killed in a car crash off a bridge in a remote part of Alaska. The FBI arrives on scene to investigate and discovers that the physician was treating someone for morphine addiction and Livingston had been getting death threats from the same person. Not long after the investigation begins, Villegas' wife is found dead when she gets too close to finding out the truth about her husband's death and that of her friend.
