The charges are the culmination of a DEA investigation that has lasted more than two years.

When you're using the Clinicians Forum, here's what you need to know:

For SDN's complete policy, please see SDN Forums Terms of Service (TOS) FAQ.

1. Be courteous. It goes a long way.

2. Use the search functions. The SDN Forums have been here since 1999. Chances are, someone has already asked the same question you may have.

3. Don't advertise. SDN relies on sponsorships to operate. To promote your product or service, see our sponsorship link.

4. Don't Spam the forums. Just post once. Posting a question or comment in multiple forums is annoying to other guests.

5. Use the "Report Bad Post" button to report inappropriate posts. It's located at the bottom left of every post on the site. It immediately alerts the moderators.

6. Respect copyrighted information. Although it's tempting to share copyrighted files, it's illegal and it might get you in legal and academic trouble. Also, posting copyrighted information from other Web sites hurts those sites ability to generate revenue. It's better to post a link to desired information.

7. Harassment and flame wars burn everyone. Again, be courteous. Just ignore those guests who can't discuss topics professionally.

8. Use common sense when posting images. No pornography or hateful images.

9. Trolls suck. If you encounter a guest who is clearly trolling, report their post. Trolls are banned on sight.

10. Be sure to have fun! The educational process can be frustrating sometimes. We're all in it together and we're here to help each other.

Enjoy the Clinicians Forum!

More doctors were pulled in to criminal cases by far on illicit opioid distribution than NPs and PAs.

Physicians led the way.

I know more doctors were implicated. I was commenting more on the fact he referred to himself as “Rock Doc” and many other outlets made no mention of the fact that he’s actually an NP. Sadly there are no innocent disciplines in this s***show. If they had prescriptive authority, they were implicated.

Opioid crackdown: What Tennessee doctors were charged? We've got a list.

Thirty-two Tennessee medical professionals were charged this week in a huge opioid investigation. Many were arrested Wednesday.

Stop trolling. You’re flagrantly breaking TOS.

Not “by far”, 31 out of 60 were physicians. Despite the misleading headline, 29 of 60 were not doctors.

I’m not trolling. If you look at my post history, you will see that I’m a pretty strong advocate for midlevels. If you think I’m breaking TOS, report my post and let the mods decide.

Stop being so defensive and taking everything so personally.

Nice dodge. Don’t worry, as long as you are trolling midlevels, no one will hold you accountable for breaking TOS.

EDIT: This thread is being closed. It isn't acceptable to go into a specific professional forum to bash that profession as a whole. We wouldn't let someone go into, say, FM and minimize it, and it's not OK to do that in the clinician forum either.
