What 150 Milligrams Is About

Irène Frachon, a lung specialist working in Brest, notices a link between deaths among her patients and a drug on the market. The drug is state-approved, the manufacturer is powerful, and the medical establishment does not want the subject opened. Frachon gathers data, objects, sometimes shouts, and enters a fight that runs for years. It is a real case: a pharmaceutical scandal affecting thousands in France came to light this way. Bercot does not present her heroine as smooth; she is stubborn, difficult and sometimes wrong. The scientific and legal processes are told together.
