Florida Docs Charged in OD Deaths
In general, if you are hauling around cash in garbage bags, chances are you’re doing something that is going to send you to jail.
From Medscape (free login required):
Prosecutors say the physicians prescribed a standard “cocktail” of controlled substances — specifically, oxycodone and alprazolam — on an assembly-line basis without obtaining prior medical records, ordering alternative treatments such as physical therapy, or referring anyone to specialists. The clinics also dispensed the prescribed pain pills and accepted only cash or credit cards as payment to avoid the scrutiny of third-party payers. The cash was hauled to the bank in garbage bags.
The docs earned more than $1 million a year but now face life in prison. 7 other doctors received prison sentences up to 17 years behind bars.
Rot in hell, boys and girls, rot in hell.
