Description
Summary:Dr. James Shortt calls himself a 'longevity physician.' He promises to help his patients live better in the hopes they'll live longer. To many of his longtime patients, he's a savior, a physician on the cutting edge of alternative treatments. But the death of one of his patients has been ruled a homicide, and investigators have been combing through his files, looking for more.

CNN Correspondent Anderson Cooper, on assignment for 60 Minutes Wednesday, reports on this controversial treatment.
