I plan to read this later, but wanted to say that Cleggett was one of the biggest scumbags out there. I was a pharmacist in New Orleans East and Slidell in the late 90s and early 2000s. I had a standing policy of never filling her prescriptions. While some of her patients may have been legit, the overwhelming number of them were drug seekers. I had a few arguements with her over the phone regarding her prescribing practices. Her name still gets me pissed off to this day.
she got her just desserts

Excellent article. I'm sorry about the loss of your friend.
In the mid to late 90's I would try any drug that came around. A close friend's dad who was a pharmacist sat both of us down one night when we were home from college on Christmas break and said something to the effect of "I know y'all smoke weed and take mushrooms and all that stuff, but DO NOT take OxyContin! Not even once."
If it wasn't for that conversation I'm sure I would've gotten strung out on it. It was relatively easy to get back then and I had ample opportunity to try it. But looking, back that conversation may have saved mine and my friend's life.
His dad is a pretty cool cat. I thanked him many years later at my friend's wedding and he said something like "I wasn't an angel in college and I knew y'all weren't either, but there wasn't anything going around in college that would wreck your life like that. Not even coke, because we were all too broke to do it all the time."

I believe a lot of these medications should be pull off the market, or at least monitored closer. Marijuana should be legal in all states and people shouldn't be able to profit off of prisons.
Also, great article and condolences to those that have lost loved ones to this scourge.

Damn that's crazy. I remember being 18 years old and going to see this doctor. While also going to see several others at the same time.
I wouldn't call this the most 'notorious', Dr Cookie ran one probably bigger and more lucrative with several locations.
Great read. Took me back.
Sorry for your loss.
What don't you know?

That’s a great article. I was wondering how Danny’s death related to a pill mill operating years after but I see it was inspiration for the father.
Amazing how brash this doctor was. The clinic was open 24/7? Insane!

Dudes in their early 20's with dreads and all gold grills wearing scrubs with their drawz hanging out and Jordans on... they would sit in the parking lot in their cars with huge rims blasting gangster rap and have the clients show up and put their name on a list for first come first serve and thn have like 50-100 people in the parking lot waiting on the clinic to open once they got X amount of clients waiting.

Good article. Persistence paid off. Can't blame the man.

I know the mills went to in-house pharmacies and that made it a little harder to stop. People taking entire day trips to Houston to see their “Doctor” and coming back with 120 Roxie’s, 120 Xanax, and 90 soma. I was amazed that it went on as long as it did.
The last one I knew of was the one that was linked earlier in the thread. The one in NOLA. I knew one of the patients through a friend. One month after the clinic got shut down that patient OD’d on heroin. But it probably wasn’t heroin.

Kenneth Wiley was another doctor in NOLA that was prescribing inappropriately. We turned all his rxs away. I reported him to the DEA twice. The second time was very upsetting- a heavily pregnant woman presented with prescriptions for the "holy trinity." I thought he had lost his license but looks like it he has been reinstated with restrictions. He can not prescribe controlled substances and has to practice in institutions like prisons.
Kenneth Wiley board of medical examiners meeting minutes
Shannon Caesar was another recent bad doctor. He was running a substance abuse clinic but selling oxycodone rxs. Disgusting! He's in
jail.

The biggest most lucrative I remember was 'Shears' or something like that. Mostly ran by Dr Cookie.
The last I rememember that was true Pill Mills was the one right off the Morrison exit operating in the old strip mall. There was one on Read in the old abandon high rise. One on Houma blvd on th is lake side of Vets. One on right behind West Jeff.... but it got to the point where you couldn't doctor shop, you could only go to one a month instead of a few. And most almost made you use the inhouse pharmacy.

Please keep in mind there are bad apples no matter where you look. And cash makes good apples bad in some cases.
This example is the worst of the worst, imo. And the half dozen pain med capitalists that opened after her closing are as well.
My wife is a doctor that deals with the "worst" of society. She prescibes ibuprofen 200 mg when they ask for pain meds. When they bitch about that, she prescibes tylenol.
She is one of thousands like that.

Does she ever prescribe anything stronger in cases of true need. Because honestly, we don’t want to be to far left or right on the spectrum of pain management. If you have a broken bone give that cat some fricking Narco and not Tylenol.

There's a reason marijuana isn't legal and it sure as shite is not illegal because it's a "gateway drug". Big pharma has this country by the balls.

Amazingly well written article. Schneider is a hero for what he has done for his community.
Also, I did not realize this was the case now:

Drug overdoses are now the leading cause of death for Americans younger than 50.
Deaths from opioids - a class of drugs that includes prescription painkillers like Vicodin and OxyContin as well as heroin and fentanyl - have eclipsed the peak years for car crash deaths in 1972, gun deaths in 1993 and AIDS deaths in 1995. More than half a million Americans died from drug overdoses between 2000 and 2015, and more than 60 percent of those deaths involved an opioid.
