ABOUT THIS SERIES

Most of the people who fill prescriptions are honest and do their job well. But some of those people in white smocks are thieves, drug addicts or both, our investigation found. In 13 cases over a decade, the public’s health was jeopardized by people with a history of substance abuse and theft allowed to hold a license to dispense drugs at pharmacies.
