 Re: NJ Doctor's Rx on the Web Draws Scrutiny

Quote:
The House Energy and Commerce Committee has sent a letter to Dr. Stephen L. Ancier, asking him to answer questions about his prescribing for Internet pharmacies. Ancier is the first to receive the letter, but the committee plans to send similar letters to two-dozen other physicians in the coming weeks, committee spokesman Ken Johnson said.
"House Energy and Commerce Committee" (WTF? - what happened to the FDA or the DEA?)
Anyway, I find it strange they would target him as the first of 2 dozen doctors if he doesn't write controlled substance scripts as he claims, given their concern over pain meds and other controlled substances. Perhaps they can't tell what the scripts are being written for and have developed their "list" to target high-volume docs, regardless of med. How would they gather this info. anyway?
