to say that it't a matter of choice is true as to wether you use the service or not but we're not talking about cars here. We're talking about people in severe pain or severely addicted to pain medication. I think that's different from most other products we buy. I can live with a less expensive car but living in severe pain is altogether different. There are alot of people on this board that use a significant ammount of their income for medication to live a normal life so cost is at issue. I believe that OP's that operate within our legal system will survive. We've already seen it. Those that don't, the pill mills do not. My personal thought is that this guy ran outside the law made a windfall of money but now is having to pay the piper. I have no problem with that. If you truly believe that it's fair game, charge as much as you want and people are going to pay it because they're in pain so the heck with them.

got to agree with ocean and tracerb...(look out ya'll, last time I was here I got, uh, DELETED )...since someone else here said this guy got started some five years ago(?).. and I don't know, maybe it was, but even if it was only 2 or 3 years ago; the prices he charged were surely based in part to correlate with the investment capital required to start a business that could service the appearently large number of customers, (at least a few posting here) and the inherent risk associated with servicing you(the collective, non-descript, non-personal you, not you who I just quoted...and this quote is from so far back, I don't even remember who originally said it, so I really, truly don't mean the quoter). And, to somehow imply it's HIS fault you're addicted or in severe pain(and again it's the collective "you" not you whoever I'm quoting), and therefore a victim of his unbridled greed, is perhaps the rationalization of the century! If he were the only one who could help you, or the only one who would help you, and you took advantage of that, and now say he deserves to be persecuted, well, that's a shame...For those who agreed to his terms, made use of his service and are now essentially saying "you lose sucker!"....think about him next time you're sitting in the ER all night, waiting for some 2nd year resident, whose being 'taught' by a 60 year old hack to 'counsel' you regarding your drug seeking behaviour and then send you home with a script for 800mg Ibuprophen

And to clarify, since my "quote" function is all funky....paragraph 1 is the quote,
