But seriously what kind of predatory policy is that in the first place?

Oooh, I saw a part of that firsthand.

Relatives in Maine, three at the same address, got hooked up with a pill-mill in Biddeford.

One sold all his Oxycontins each month, made a grand off of it.

How he passed his mandatory "pill count" every week was to get the balance of pills he needed from his other relatives. They all had the same prescription. Would go in, be one pill over or under ("I felt good last week and forgot.." or "yaah, it was rotten for the pain so I popped an extra..") and skirted the system for a couple of years.

Coasted along fine UNTIL the Feds went and busted a Walgreen's Pharmacy Warehouse in Florida that was the source of the pills...

The next day, 4 of the 7 MD's at the pill mill disappeared into the ether. A few months later the grapevine relays that two lost their licenses one got some sort of penalty and one likely left the country never to be seen again.

Fucking crazy times.

Sounds like one of them ran from the country. Since you don't usually do that without extreme circumstances, I assume a longer stay in the tax-paid hotel was at least on the table

Loosing your whole license to practice is IMO almost as bad. What you gonna do? Get a new equal paying job? In a medical field? Lol yeah.
Why is an MD suddenly applyijg for a pharmacy assistant job. Amd a pharma company probably wouldnt touch the applicant witg a 10m pole
