Random question but the girl who went by the name M. in the doc looks & talks exactly like a girl who has her own videos on YouTube called NollaGirl504.

Just finished watching. I'm wondering where all the money went that the doctor made? Was she paying NOPD to look the other way? Was it possible that she paid off someone in DEA and that's why their investigation went nowhere? I was also expecting to see someone affiliated with the doctor try to retaliate against Dan. Or did the documentary leave some things out?

This is what blew my mind. So the DEA said they were already investigating it and then when they dad would call to check up they would tell him it takes time. I understand investigations do take time, they don't want to do a sloppy job and screw the whole case up, but anyone could have gone sit across the street from the place, at night, and see exactly what was going on.


I mean, I imagine with NOPD officers in the clinic, and the sheer volume, they were probably looking at a much wider net than just the doctor. Which can take time.

Paired with the knowledge that others will pop up behind it... the long horizon that they get runs a bit counter to our gut reaction that it’s URGENT while they may focus more on accuracy and pulling on the tangential threads once they have a situation identified

And never even once told her “hey man stop this shite” until he finally made the call.


The DEA agent said she went to Clegget’s house to get her to voluntarily surrender her license after the US Attorney slow-played them. Clegget refused.

Then had the audacity to act like the medical board has more reach than the frickin DEA


This was 2001. Not 2020. At the time, the DEA was handling more street/gang drug related issues. They even mentioned that bringing cases to the US Attorney against physicians was rare.

Just finished watching and three thoughts:

1) As echoed amongst many already, there is so much to admire about Dan Sr (and his family) and Shane for their courage and persistence.

2) Been away from Southern Louisiana for a good part of my life now and it is a good reminder of how much I love the people from Southern Louisiana - great personalities and passion.

With that said, not the main focus of the film at all, but I am wondering if anyone else got a little choked up when they spliced the home movies with the first trip into the house after Katrina. That was extremely well done and I thought captured the emotion well of why it is more than a physical building and material things that gets destroyed in disaster.

3) On IMDB, it says the budget was $3 million for the documentary. Not sure how it typically works but I am hoping that Jeffrey or Cleggett weren’t given any compensation at all for appearing in it.

Don't know for sure, obviously, but I would guess that a $3 million budget was mostly limited to research, production, travel, and editing. I've heard that a lot of Netflix documentaries are produced independently and then sold to Netflix as a finished product. I guess it's possible some people got stipends, but I wouldn't think there would be much budget for that.

I really enjoyed the show but have two burning questions that were not answered:

1. Did we ever find out why he shot Danny in the first place? I never heard him say what made him do it.

2. If all that needed to be done was get the medical board involved to close down the doctors office why didn’t the DEA go that route? Makes no sense.

Watched the whole thing this weekend. I have a son and 2 daughters and it was incredibly emotional to watch.
It’s crazy now that Heroine has become an issue with middle and upper class high school kids. Being older I always thought of heroine as a cheap street drug. Now the cheap street drug of choice is Meth and it is ravaging poor people all over the country.
I don’t think this drug issue will ever be solved, all we can do is try like hell to take care of the people we love.

What’s the longest you had to wait to get a script? I can’t believe that guy said he waited 12 hours.
it was first come first serve. People would show up 2-3am and write their name on a list taped to the front door. The parking lots would fill up. The workers wouldn't show up until 9am and start calling people on the list in the parking lot. One of the offices didn't even have a waiting room. You were standing in the parking lot in the heat waiting for your name to come up on the list. You could be there all day.

Based on prices for pills sold on the street, each person could gross $ 9600.00 for the following script.
60 - 80mg oxy x $80 ea. = $4800
90- 10mg Lortab x $30 ea. = $2700
90- 250mg Soma x $20 ea. = $1800
30- 2mg Xanax x $10 ea. = $300
wrong

Oxys went for $40-60
Lortab/lorcet for $5
Soma $2-3
Xanax $5-4

Doctor visit was $250 for new patient visit and $150 for every other visit. If you missed an appointment you had to be a new patient again

I was a teenager seeing this doctor. So yes I have a good amount of knowledge on this topic.

When I heard that I had to rewind to make sure I heard him right. That had to be like two days in hell. He was probably dope sick.. So being dope sick in a place with a bunch of dope fiends for two days.. That's messed up.
