Inspired by the New York Times podcast, the drama follows one woman's crusade against Yale Fertility Center after she (and almost 100 other women) were operated on without anesthesia - because a nurse stole their fentanyl. A powerful and surprisingly funny story about an unlikely community that dares to take on one of the largest institutions in the nation.
The hit podcast series by Susan Burton, which reached number one on Apple Podcasts, was a sensitive investigation of medical harm and its emotional reverberations. The two seasons of the podcast have drawn national attention to the dismissal of women's pain.
Metzler and Burton will executive produce with Colin McKenna and Caitlin Roper. LuckyChap Entertainment and Quiet Coyote will produce in association with Netflix.
