knew Clegget had got in a bad auto accident and nearly died but that bitch still has no remorse for being responsible for 100's if not 1000's of fatalities.
Yeah, that crazy bitch is in some serious denial of her actions affecting others and her own addiction. She looked fricked up in the movie but I couldn't tell if it was injuries from her wreck or if she is still on the pills.

I've only watched the first episode so far, but plan on continuing this weekend. Really well done so far.
As someone with a young son now, hearing him grieve about his son's murder while showing the old home movies of him as a baby/young boy hit me really hard.

I have two young daughters. Parenting is incredibly difficult and I know I won’t get it perfect. The best I’ll be able to do is instill in my girls a feeling of being loved by their mom and dad. I was the complete film last night and it was the most emotionally powerful film I have ever seen.

You think drug use is something new? Humans have been finding ways to get fricked up for a long time.

Before they mentioned she was in a wreck my first thought was that she was under the influence of something and couldn't believe that she would go do an interview about how she was illegally running a pill mill completely blitzed on something..
But then she mentioned the car wreck. but no matter what she either really convinced herself she did no wrong or she just didn't want to admit to anything.
But then when they busted her. pill mills started popping up everywhere. Her and all of those other doctors were no different than the corner drug dealer.. The only difference was.. They didn't need the DEA to do a drawn out investigation to arrest the street dealer. And the street dealer goes to jail for a lot longer.

I have a friend that was almost fired from a big box stores pharmacy because she started refusing to fill scripts in a small town. Basically a local pediatrician was writing scripts for the parents. All the favorite drugs that are abused. They would take child in get a script. She had to go above regional manager and the doctor ended up losing his license.
Pharmacists are great people and are often demonized but they should not be. Should be big pharma and the physicians.

I watched a little bit of this last night. It was pretty crazy that her clinic opened at 11pm and that alone didn't draw much attention.

The pharmacy monitoring database that Dan Schneider and the LA board of pharmacists no doubt saved countless lives. I am a fan of pharmacists.

The pharmacy monitoring database
In my profession, I’ve been meeting with pain mgmt doctors since 1994. Significant changes I’ve noticed since 2005 include: patients having to sign “ PM agreement contracts” where they cannot seek treatment elsewhere or they will be discharged, having to come in every 30 days with their pill bottles, undergo a urine drug screen to test drug levels, and limited to a 30-day supply of meds. Back in the day, patients could get a 90 day supply (360 pills) of OxyContin mailed to their house with no questions asked.
Dr Kevin Gorin, who was the head doctor at the PM clinic at Lake Charles Memorial Hospital was arrested in 2005 for giving free pills (percoset, Valium, Xanax, oxy) to prostitutes in exchange for sex. He got busted at a sleezy hotel in DeRidder. Lost his license to practice in LA and 5 yrs later he’s practicing in TX

Danny had likely been doing it for a while. Also a good chance that it started at parties and with pills much like his dad prescribed.
Also a very good chance that his girlfriend (not in doc) and his sis knew what was going on.
We all knew he was smoking weed and maybe doing acid and pills.
Several months before he was killed I learned from a mutual friend that he had heard Little Danny was doing coke. We had an intervention with him and he seemed to be doing well. No one knew he was doing crack, accept for a cousin that was the one who introduced him to it (which we found out later about).
I never knew his girlfriend that well. She may have known but maybe didn't. I know his sister very well and I believe that if she knew he was doing such hard stuff, she would have tried to intervene.

I mentioned this earlier, it's a miracle all those boxes of cassettes and files/paperwork survived Katrina
Their house in Chalmette was a 2 story and all the boxes were in the attic above the 2nd floor. Luckily the water didn't get that high and the roof wasn't blown off from the hurricane force winds.

The documentary was done really well. His dad was relentless. I wish there were more people like him. That seems like the only way to get things done when it comes to government red tape.. Is for someone to have his dedication
I really feel for him and no one should have to go through what he went through. I just couldn't get over the whole DEA thing when he was trying to get something done about the doctor running the pill mill. What took their investigation so long and why did it take him to find out what needed to be done and him actually doing it before anything happened?
The DEA was complete shite.

Very compelling show to watch. Thanks for the recommendation.

Thank you OP for the heads up on this Netflix documentary. I have vast experience with opiates and I have a family member that was a pharmacist in Vermilion Parrish Abbeville, LA. He said the explosion of pill mills started in south Louisiana. I don’t want to make this a racial topic but in my experience it was black Americans that always had the prescriptions of opiates and they would sell them to us white junkies as extra income. The white people would keep their pills and abuse them. That is mostly why the epidemic hit white america the hardest. Black MD’s would write their patients a crap load of opiate scripts it seems though knowing their patients needed that extra income imho. In Alabama and around the Baltimore area is where my extensive experience comes from.

Sell for extra income opposed to? Why does anyone sell drugs? Why did Purdue Pharma not only sell Oxycotin but tell everyone there was a 1% chance that someone could get addicted to it?
But I don't know why you brought race into this because... There were several ways people were getting pills and it was white people who would get people to go to as many doctors as possible from here to Houston. They would pay people's fee to get a prescription, they go get it filled, give that person some pills from the prescription then sell them.
But this epidemic has hit the suburbs and it all started with doctors prescribing too much pain meds for people. Someone goes in for some type of procedure, the doctor would prescribe them a month worth of pain meds.
Race has nothing to do with this.

What I didn’t understand is Dr was making millions and when the DEA went to her house it was a dump. Trash everywhere looked like an episode of Horders.

She was an addict herself at that point.

She was tied in with some other people. That was not a one woman operation. It was running millions of dollars a year mostly cash.

FL was king of the pill mills. In 2010 90 of the nation’s top 100 opioid prescribers were Florida doctors, according to federal officials, and 85 percent of the nation’s oxycodone was prescribed in the state. That year alone, about 500 million pills were sold in Florida.
