The prosecutors count on everyone to have your attitude...that they wouldn't be prosecuting the docs unless they were guilty.
It's easy pick on doctors instead of drug traffickers and counterfeiters -- criminals know how to circumvent the law.
Here;s an example - a 20-something pain patient was being treated with opioids, then goes out and shoots up heroin at a party, drinks alcohol and od's. So the doctor is prosecuted and convicted of manslaugher. so now he's supposed to be psychic or trail the patient around 24/7?
Then I would expect more than 400, is my point. More like 4000.
"a 20-something pain patient was being treated with opioids,"
Fine. If the dosage was within acceptable medical practices, what's the problem?
Perhaps you're referring to Dr. Deonarine who prescribed OxyContin to Michael Labzda, 21, in high doses without medical justification? Turns out those charges were dismissed because the "judge determined that Labzda caused his own death by drinking rum, beer, snorting the OxyContin and taking the Xanax ..."
Give me a specific case, then we'll talk about it. Your generalized gossip means nothing.
