He should have split himself in half to watch both stores at the same time since it was his and only his responsibility.

You do understand that he does NOT write the scripts, right?

Aren’t they just filling the prescriptions? Should the pharmacist now be the person to decide whether or not a person should get pain pills?

Smear job. A weak one too. A doctor prescribed opioids and had ownership in rural pharmacies? Really not a big deal.

If this was a bombshell, why did it take more than 24 hours to get to this board?

If I did the math right, that's the equivalent to 5% of the population taking 2 pills a day. How is that so hard to believe?

Okay, done.

He should have split himself in half to watch both stores at the same time since it was his and only his responsibility, according to you.

Does he own both pharmacies, or is it that he did have partial ownership (way less than half)?

The article is poorly written and not clear.

Good luck with that line of attack - “Abraham gave terminal cancer patients opioids - that bastard”.

How about this - “JBE’s Medicaid expansion allowed hundreds of thousands of people to get access to opioids.”

The author of the report lives in New Orleans with his two dogs.

Hey look people who don't know anything about medicine throwing out big numbers to scare people. 1.4 million pain pills is nothing close to being a pill factory.

1.4 million pills / 6 years = 233,333 pills per year / 365 days in a year = 639 pills per day / 5 pills per day per pt = 128 patients per day.

That is not extreme numbers by any means because you have to remember that these local pharmacies also fill prescriptions written by other doctors including surgeons, oncologists, etc. You democrats are f**king desperate if this is all you have to go on because Doc will destroy gov honor code and his lying arse with facts at any debate since Doc actually understands medicine and JBE only understands fricking Louisiana's taxpayers.

20,000 people in Franklin Parish. They don't use prescription drugs? The article reads as if no one outside the city limits uses drugs.

That’s about one pill every ten days.

In the world of overuse and overprescribing, this seems like a nonissue.

That's about 39 pills/person/year.

Plus these are towns in rural parishes so the population utilizing the pharmacy is probably higher than the town pops.

The two parishes together have a pop of about 40,000. Let's just say the pharmacies together serve a pop of 10,000. That's 23 pills/person/year. I don't know if that's high or low, but I do think the writer of the article is trying to inflate the numbers for a hit piece.
