"Limbaugh only received word that his doctor had been served a search warrent from a radio host ??? Wouldn't it seem likely that the doctor's offices would have called Limbaugh when it happened ? That Dr Cruz himself would not have informed his patient of the seizure is the strangest part...You imply that it was the doctor's responsibility to notify Limbaugh that the cops had just seized a bunch of records.
Since when is it the target's responsibility to officially notify a second target.
Secondly, maybe the doctor's office was told not to say anything.
Thirdly, the prosecutor's actions in seizing the records implied either that Limbaugh did something wrong by asking for medications, or that the doctors did something wrong by giving him medications that had already been prescribed.
Ask yourself, how would Prosecutor Kirshner know whether or not the latter were true unless he gave those doctors a chance to explain why they prescribed these medications in the first place.
I'm sure it's no surprise to you that many medications have dual purposes.
Fourthly, you suggest the doctors make "joint" public statements asking the prosecutors lay off Limbaugh. Why in the world would a doctor thrust themselves into the public spotlight and put themselves in the crosshairs of this out of control prosecutor by giving a PUBLIC statement, like you suggested.
Not only would that be illegally breaking doctor patient confidentially, but no responsible doctor is gonna give a statement to the TV and newspapers like that.
Doctors don't argue their disgnosis cases, especially about a private patient, without the consent of the patient.
Furthermore, ask yourself. Is it Limbaugh's fault or the doctor's fault that he was given medications for which he had already been prescribed.
Bottom line. This investigation is a fishing expedition and a sham. Anyone who can't see that is simply hankering to see Limbaugh go down.
"You imply that it was the doctor's responsibility to notify Limbaugh that the cops had just seized a bunch of records."
Was it the doctor's responsibility ? Don't know ... ask a lawyer - If any normal person had someone seize their patients records, I would assume that they might want to notify their patient - especially if as Black at first said, they did not get to keep a copy of them... and I wouldn't give a damn if the cops told me to keep quiet about it - there is no law that says you have to keep it a secret.
Where do you get the idea that they were told to keep quiet, or are you just making it up to make the cops look bad ?
"Prosecutor Kirshner know whether or not the latter were true unless he gave those doctors a chance to explain why they prescribed these medications in the first place"
The whole point of any search warrent is to give no warning to the seizure... duh...
... and it does not look as if the prosecution is targeting the doctors on this at all - the possible charges only appear to be aimed at Limbaugh.
"Why in the world would a doctor thrust themselves into the public spotlight and put themselves in the crosshairs of this out of control prosecutor by giving a PUBLIC statement, like you suggested."
WHY in the world would Limbaugh NOT want this to happen ? to specifically request and pay them to do it to clear the matter up ? The info is allready out there....
"This investigation is a fishing expedition and a sham. "
ALL investigations are looking for evidence.... again duh
... and 3 judges so far have agreed that the investigation is legal and warrented... as in OK for search warrents...
