Was that Nola East Dr. good looking back then?
no


Another funny tidbit I'll never forget is some of the workers she Surrounded herself with. The office workers would be hood as frick, all gold teeth, long lil Wayne dreads, big gold chains, wearing scrubs hanging below their arse.They would sit in the parking lot in their cars on big arse rims blaring rap music with their doors open.

The DEA agent was explaining how long it took to get information from different pharmacies. She said it could take a whole day.... so 4 days total. They never explained what else was holding it up.

The Dr "Cookie" you keep referring to, that's Clegett?

My wife and I just finished watching it this weekend. It was powerful. I was hoping Katrina could have at least wiped out the drug problem. Thank you for sharing.

They had to go through the records of 100s of pharmacies in order to identify those 4.

frick the DEA man. Sitting there making excuses when they had more than enough stuff to take her down but sat on their hands and watched tons of people die



The government in action.

"but we had to go to 10 pharmacies and look at paper work" was the most government employee thing ever.

no. Initially I was thinking it was Dr cookie Armstrong, not Dr. Clegett. But that was a different pain management doctor I saw in New Orleans.

I haven't had a chance to check out the documentary yet.

The DEA lady also said the AG was holding them up. Crooked arse mfers all the way frim the FDA, AG, DEA, NOPD to the doctors writing the scripts, Purdue pharma and their reps. It’s like the rep said...... they all knew better.... but all were playing dumb.

I'm not trying to knight for the DEA here but this was 2001.

Everything was still done via paper. So they'd show up to a pharmacy and have to literally go through tens of thousands of paper records to identify Clegget scrips for Oxy.

People forget how advanced data-tracking has become just in the last 10-15 years.

No it wasn't. Computer databases have been around since the 80's. In most of them, it's pretty easy to run reports based on certain criteria. Even Dan, Sr's tiny hometown pharmacy had the ability to print off a report of all OxyContin prescriptions with a column including the prescribing doctor.

The methadone clinic in Laplace always has a crowded parking lot in the morning. No signage or anything, just people know what it is. They give out liquid containers of methadone. odd because I thought the shift was too suboxone in the last decade.
In my opinion methadone is worse than heroin.

I'm wondering where all the money went that the doctor made?


She was most likely just a small piece in a larger operation. Her clinic had deposited $1.9 million in cash in only two years. No telling how much went out the back door.

Even if she started out on her own, someone would have cut themselves in on her operation once word got out how much money they were pulling in.

She had NOPD protection and told the DEA they were dead when they raided the place. She was involved with some bad people no doubt.

That doesn't mean shite when it comes to evidence. The scrip was still handwritten, photocopied, and filed. It wasn't scanned into a complete database that was coordinating with the patient, prescribing physician, etc.

If the US Attorney wouldn't bring a case against Clegget with their evidence, think about what would have happened if they showed up with an electronic ledger of the scrips from a pharmacist who was known to be working against her.
