This is definitely a WTF kind of situation...

Lol!

Dumb@$$

$100 says the doc was stoned at the time.

I watched a clip where he talked to reporters. He was not a pain doc by any means.

Ps. family practice from what I can see.

Wow. Unreal.

Unless the patient was verifying how big and heavy his dog was, therefore verifying that the patient does indeed have back pain. 🙂

I have to admit the first thing I did was look at the hip joints. Just wasn't expecting a tail!

What I don't get it? What's wrong with the xray other than a little genu varus? 😉

This is funny of course, and this doctor is a greedy and unethical bastard without question.

However, I came across an interesting article:

http://pathologyblawg.com/2012/07/1...rested-after-failing-notice-tail-womans-xray/

Since when are the police allowed to disclose evidence of an ongoing investigation ?

Does this only apply when an individual is one of the " good guys ? "

Apparently this physician isn't the only one who sells things for money. **** the police.

Maybe it was coccydynia!

What's annoying that any doc busted for prescribing narcs is always called a "pain doc"...

Do you guys know any pain docs that work at an urgent care?
The dude was an URGENT CARE DOC just like the article said he was, why do whey say pain doc in the title/headline.

Plus these urgent care messes are a topic for another conversation...

(beating a dead horse) maybe thats another reason why pain management needs to be limited to those who actually have undergone the appropriate certification process...

right now, if someone prescribes opioids, they are a "pain" doc...

exactly, where and when are CRNA's trained to read an MRI?
