Description
The Pharma Files explores lesser-known chapters of medical history—treatments once pursued with genuine promise before evidence caught up.
Narrated by fictional investigators Lance Simard and Justine Burke, each episode examines how medical consensus forms, how it changes, and what abandoned or misunderstood therapies still reveal about modern medicine.
Where medicine meets mystery.
