Episode notes
What happens when the DEA investigates you for... helping patients? In this episode of Second Opinion, Dr. Jesse Haggard shares the true, behind-the-scenes story of how he went from educating DEA agents to becoming their target.
Dr. Haggard details the official visits he received from the DEA regarding his high volume of testosterone prescriptions. He explains the science he presented to them, his success with patients (even those with prostate cancer ), and how the political fallout from the Jose Canseco sports scandal led to him being charged, despite his evidence.
Facing an impossible legal battle with no way to prepare his complex, science-based defense from a jail cell, his lawyer gives him one piece of shocking advice: "Flee the country".
