... other than the lady who died calling 911 from the King-Harbor ER

The whole article pissed me off and left me not wanting to prescribe anything more than ibuprofen ever again. Basically some of his patients lied to him repeatedly to get narcotics to abuse and resell. He tried to get authorities to investigate the patients but they refused. Instead the patients testimony was used to find him guilty of drug diversion and sentenced to 30 years in prison. Now those same patients are suing him for the few assets the government didn't confiscate.
This smiley doesn't even begin to express how I feel
