Asked if he considered his client to be alcoholic, Horace Ehrgood, Emerich's attorney, said: "It depends on what your definition is."Classic lawyer line . . . sounds like . . .

Nissley said she could not discuss the details of Emerich's case because of
confidentiality requirements that also protect the doctor from being identified.
I wonder if Emerich is under such a constraint.
It would be interesting if he kept quiet until his license restored...
then went public with the name of the doctor who squealed on him.

The law requires revocation of the license until the driver can prove he is competent to drive.Like a driving test??
Boggles the mind.

My mother was a stone alcoholic. She could suck a 16 oz beer for the whole day. Schlitz packaged that in those days- the 50's. None of my schoolmates believed that she had a problem because "she doesn't drink that much".
The drinking finally killed her. She did such a good job of hiding her drinking that her workplace friends didn't think she drank when we were conversing at the funeral home. They argued with me. I had known her all of my life-25 years, and they had known her 3 years.
She held a job all of her adult life, and got excellent grades in her 4 years at the University of Wisconsin---a rare enough treat for a woman born in 1906. She wasted her potential and created a life for us kids that was a nightmare. There are worse stories, I know, but this was MY nightmare. I still shy away from people who drink, even on a casual friend level. I for one am VERY GLAD this guy is off the roads.

Oh, so THAT'S why my doctor has been so concerned about my substance abuse. Wahhhh! And I thought he cared about me!
To: mdittmar
Of course if he'd told the doctor he had a fudge pack a day he would have been protected from the consequences.
To: mdittmar
How about pulling that doctors license.

What if I tell my physician I talk on a cell phone, drink coffee, and listen to loud rock music? and I sleep, too!

The doctor probably was doing what s/he thought was a good thing.
But, if this event had occurred in some other states (like CA) and Emerich
found a good lawyer...lawsuit time if the doctor couldn't make a really good
case that drinking a six-pack in the evening incapacitated the driver
when he took the wheel the next morning.
I see both sides of this situation.
But I can also see a lot of people in Penn. with drinking problems
clamming up for good when talking to their doctors...and not getting help.

I had my license pulled for 5 months because of a disease of the inner ear. I live in PA. It was the right thing to do. If my disease has consequences, so does his.
Someone tell this moron to grow up.
