The sound of the hurt in his and his wife's voice was painful and I couldn't help but to think of my four year old son and the demons and temptations that he will be faced with as he gets older in this very different society/school culture than I grew up in
The temptations of drugs have been around for a few generations of kids now, so it's not a new fear. I grew up in the 80's and the DARE program. The dangers of drugs were drilled into our heads, but most of my friends and I still dabbled in them in high school and college.
My parents were very honest and open about their drug use in the late 60's and early 70's, and I think that made a difference for me and my siblings. While I experimented with lots of drugs, I always had a healthy respect for the dangers and risks in doing them, as did my siblings.

I agree, it is.
How so?

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.
This may be enough info to get an investigation going, but it isn't the evidence you need in a courtroom. A defendant (prescribing doctor) could claim this was falsified.
It's easy to look from the outside and see something wrong is being done. The bar is pretty high to be able to prove it in court which should be the ultimate goal in any investigation.
A proper investigation would have to be able to prove every aspect of what was going on. They'd need the scripts, videos of the 'patients' going in and out, undercovers getting scripts, and proof it was actually the doctor writing the scripts. I know a dentist that caught a worker calling in pain scripts for friends using the dentist's DEA number.
You also don't rush something like this and arrest someone for a handful of offenses. It's better to prove the severity and number of crimes to get the harshest sentence. If someone were arrested over a few questionable scripts, they could possibly plead it down. Would they even lose their medical license? How long before they are back to doing the same shite?

It's a story because of what the father did. If a black father did a similar takedown, it would be a huge story too.

Watched the whole thing amazing story. So true on how a lot of those pill mills operated. Cash for scripts with 2 min doctor visit.
Ask any local pharmacist and he will tell you where the pill mills are

dilaudid Yea, when people say prescribed heroin. This is the stuff. I had that after back surgery. Unbelievable
In my dental school prescription class (not our main pharmacology course, but a smaller course about the stuff you’ll actually prescribe in common practice), they straight up told us not to prescribe dilaudid. Too addictive and stronger than needed for dental pain. I remember when Oxycontin first came on the scene. Had very few patients brave enough to ask for it, but no way in hell were we writing that.
Two patients that were known druggies died from Oxy overdoses, though they obviously didn’t get it from me. But both were obvious druggies - come in with a legit problem, get antibiotics and a few days of hydrocodone, then fail to show for their appointment and always call to try to get a refill. Or they are allergic to everything you try to prescribe - the only thing they can take is...uhh...can’t remember the name.....Oxy-something. They were always very easy to spot.

I'm wondering where all the money went that the doctor made?
According to google a lot of her former patients filed lawsuit against her, so I am sure some of it went to pay them off. Hopefully her kids had to pay for their own college education.
After her car accident she lived in an assisted living facility and today she resides in East Baton Rouge. I am sure she is dependent on care givers to this day.

I take 300mcg per day for chronic pain. Doesn't make me feel any different. If it did, why would they use it to help people get off of hard opioids?
Perhaps higher doses will. I'm told 300 isn't much and some people take up to 1500mcg per 12 hours.

Well since you like brutal honesty. If he was black he likely wouldn’t have a father who gave a shite about him.

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?

Because it makes the withdrawals manageable and gives the user a little pep.
Once off the dope the Suboxone takes its place in giving the user a euphoric high, albeit on a much grandeur scale.
I was on and off buprophine tablets and sub strips for the better part of a decade

They were still 2 years slower than Mr. Schneider, even after he showed them what was going on.
He first met with FBI/DEA in January 2001. Clegget's office was raided and she was arrested in February 2002.
Until Schneider had Clegget recorded on the phone saying she gave the 16 year old healthy kid 80mg Oxy, all of his evidence was circumstantial in the eyes of the courts.

Jeffery had been his dealer for a while.
According to Jeffery he sold to him before, but Jeffery also said someone else shot Danny. The only reason he was convicted was because the lady saw it all and was willing to testify. Jeffery lost all credibility so anything he said is irrelevant.
With that said, no one is going to kill someone who is of value. If Danny was a regular and he was someone who paid up every time, that is a quick transaction. Vehicle comes to a stop, money and product switch hands and both parties move on.
But if Jeffery got into Danny's truck and they went around the block then Jeffery gets out, goes around to the drivers side and shoots Danny, I think there is a chance that Danny might have owed Jeffery from last time, didn't have money again.. Asked Jeffery to get in so he could talk to him about it and try to get some more product from him.
Jeffery gets pissed and at first is too nervous to shoot Danny, but as he gets out the truck he thinks about how Danny came around asking for more without any money again and he gets pissed. So he goes around the truck and shoots Danny.
Was it said if someone took Danny's stuff (wallet, cash. etc)? If that didn't happen then it wasn't because he was robbed..
Did Danny know the risk? I am sure he was aware, but he was addicted. No one wants to be addicted. Its just sad all the way around.

dilaudid Yea, when people say prescribed heroin. This is the stuff. I had that after back surgery. Unbelievable
About 7 years ago I was in the hospital for 3 months and was given dilaudid pain shots every 3 hours. Prior to that I had never done any drugs including pain pills. Didnt even like taking Tylenol. By the end of the 3 months my only reason for living was to get another shot of dilaudid.
After the hospital they put me on Hydrocodone pills every 4 hours. Within two or three months I realized I would never get off it if I didnt quit cold turkey. It was a tough couple weeks, but I beat it. Watching this documentary made me realize how fortunate I am.
From my own personal experience I dont think I would ever allow a hospital to give me dilaudin again. The thing that still bothers me is the doctor or nurses never told what I was taking until about two and a half months in when they started weening me off. I was blown away when a nurse told me dilaudin is basically heroin and when the doc told me there were easier ways to get drugs.
