I almost went to see this doctor. He certainly does not deserve to rot in jail. He is a pioneer in the top-quality management of chronic pain patients who have tried everything and are living with suicide levels of pain. mayeb lorcet works for some of you but ive had pain myself that took 80mg of oxycontin ever six hours and 10mg of methadone every three hours. there is no dosage ceiling to non-toxic drugs and tolerance develops quickly with people in severe (i dont mean "oh, my back hurts really bad pain), i mean severe(like give me releif or give me death) kind of pain. this isn't the first time hes been attacked. the first time they took his license two of his patients ended up being patients of dr. kevorkian. read about it on the web. this doctor deserves to still be in practice, i cant believe the ignorant people who would condemn a man who has helped bring life back to people who were about to end it all. he has helped way more than he has hurt. So a few of his patients diverted his drugs, thats not his fault. he treated the best way he knew how to and hes been doing this for years. the $1000 consult fee is because of the way he initiated treatment. you went there he started you on a dose. you went back everyday for a week and he uped your dose until you were comfortable. then he gave you ninety days worth of meds. that would be worth a grand to me if i was ready to kill myself because of intolerable pain levels. after the first time they took his license and he got it back he was the first physician in the USA to be able to write refills on CII narcotics.
you need to read up on what is really going on before you say something like "this guy should rot in prison". intolerance and prejudice like that shows just how ignorant people can often be. thanks for letting me vent. you early posters make me sick
