For the last year we've had so much media coverage of the new class of weight loss drugs like Ozempic. Are they dangerous? Do they work? Who should have access to them?
As the ABC's National Health Reporter, I started out by looking into how the ongoing shortages of these drugs are affecting everyday Australians. Then I went down the rabbit hole.
What I found was a black market taking advantage of people desperate to lose weight.
Join me this week as we uncover a scam targeting Australian doctors and follow a trail of mysterious vials of red copycat Ozempic being posted around the country — and overseas.
The investigation takes me from a tiny town in Tasmania where patients started experiencing strange side effects, and back to the mainland as I chase down who is behind the vials.
More than three million Australians are living with chronic pain, and it's become a breeding ground for exploitation. We expose the ugly side of medicine with patients in worse pain after having surgery and lives put at risk.
The inside story of one of America's biggest national security leaks. We expose the inner circle and the young US Air National Guardsman at the centre of it, who leaked classified defence documents on an online chat platform.
Australia's addiction to crystal meth or 'ice' is having devastating consequences, but beyond the street dealer, most are unaware of the drug's murky supply chains - and the faceless figures profiting at the top.
Looks like something went completely wrong!
But don't worry - it can happen to the best of us,
- and it just happened to you.
