“The Doctor's Office is just around the corner. And He wrote 20 perscriptions for Robitussin AC Cough Syrup, last month.”
“Wasn't that cold season, Sir?”
“Who cares! It's a NARCOTIC! Just think of the financial assets we get to keep.”
Doctors don't shoot back and Doctors also often aren't aware of DEA "Asset Forfeiture Laws".
-A physician's considerable assets can be divided up among the various law enforcement agencies investigating him before he's ever brought to trial.
-Over the last several years, hundreds of physicians have been put on trial for charges ranging from health insurance fraud to drug distribution, even to manslaughter and murder for over-prescribing prescription narcotics. Many times, investigators seize a doctor's house, office, and bank account, leaving him no resources with which to defend himself.
-Even if criminal charges are never filed a police dept can still bring a civil action against a suspected medical professional to recover the cost of an investigation.
In the 21st Century, we have gone backwards in Medicine, not forward. Doctors are put in prison for treating their pain patients humanely….sickening…the politicians are the ones to blame. Follow the money, the ads and who profits by restricting Doctors writing they same scripts they have for the last 30 years successfully treating their patients' pain or reducing it…so they too can have a decent quality of life.
