Dr. Koberda, a neurologist, said he does not prescribe narcotics for his patients.

OK, all you crazed drug warriors...

Here is a neurologist-- a physician who is a specialist in treating pain, one who is consulted by other doctors to help their suffering patients-- who is so frightened of the DEA jackboots that he no longer prescribes any opiates to his patients.

That is like an infectious disease specialist deciding to give up prescribing antibiotics, or a cardiologist taking all his patients off their blood pressure or anti-cholesterol meds. The War on (Some) Drugs has gone beyond merely disgraceful, shameful, and unjust, and has now entered the realm of madness.

Any one of you fanatic arse-wholes want to step up and tell me how this is helping society, and especially sick people?

**Here is a neurologist-- a physician who is a specialist in treating pain** I must point out that you are wrong. Who told you that a Neurologist specializes in treating pain?

A neurologist is a medical doctor or osteopath who has trained in the diagnosis and treatment of nervous system disorders, including diseases of the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles.

Neurologists perform neurological examinations of the nerves of the head and neck; muscle strength and movement; balance, ambulation, and reflexes; and sensation, memory, speech, language, and other cognitive abilities.
