At least 1 arrest made in connection to Matthew Perry's death, law enforcement source says

“At least two doctors were treating Perry, a psychiatrist and an anesthesiologist who served as his primary care physician, the medical examiner’s report said. No illicit drugs or paraphernalia were found at his house.”

I’m guessing they arrested the anesthesiologist

apparently at least 1 doctor and others. i guess he got them from the doctors initially then when it turned too expensive, he sought the drug outside of those physicians....

Too expensive for someone rolling in Friends money?

More likely it was his way of getting more than the doctor was willing to prescribe.

“In text messages to Chavez, Plasencia discussed how much to charge Perry for the ketamine, stating, “I wonder how much this ***** will pay” and “Lets [sic] find out.”

“During September and October of 2023, Plasencia distributed ketamine to Perry and Iwamasa outside the usual course of professional practice and without a legitimate medical purpose on at least seven occasions. He did so by teaching Iwamasa how to inject Perry with ketamine, selling ketamine to Iwamasa to inject into Perry, leaving vials of ketamine with Iwamasa for self-administration, personally injecting ketamine into Perry without the proper safety equipment — including once inside a car parked in a Long Beach parking lot — and failing to properly monitor Perry after Plasencia injected Perry with the drug.”

"Plasencia is accused of distributing approximately 20 vials of ketamine to Perry in exchange for $55,000 in cash, Estrada said. Plasencia allegedly worked with Chavez to obtain ketamine and with Iwamasa to distribute that ketamine to Perry."

Not directly related to the thread - Ketamine for depression needs to disappear.

My community in the USMC has experienced 4 suicides in 5 weeks. It’s a very small community. Two were actively using ketamine under the supervision of someone. One of them committed suicide in a child’s bedroom.

That stuff may not be too harmless.

The indication for ketamine in mental health seems to be: everything. Any pcp or ER doc can set up an infusion clinic and charge a grand a pop. Legal drug dealers to the most vulnerable population.

PE bought up hundreds of ketamine clinics, and when that happened the list of diagnoses increased by a factor of 5-6
