Will the doctors lose their medical licenses?
These people, except Matthew Perry, sound so greedy and despicable. IMO they shouldn't be given plea deals. They would have known the risks to health and his life.

It depends on what can be proven in court and what they did. If they're found guilty of this, they will not only lose their medical licenses, but they'll go to prison. MOO. Can't be a doctor with a felony drug-related conviction.
 
Legitimate pain specialists know the difference, and also try to use non-opiates whenever possible.

You'd be surprised. I work with pain specialists and other specialists every day. It's not a fairy tale that legitimate pain is UNDERtreated by most respectable doctors because of the fear of the DEA. This is not a good thing.

This is why this case is so important. If the doctors are guilty, then send them to prison for life because they are the reason that chronic pain patients are suffering. If they are not guilty or their involvement has been overstated, then they are a living example of why doctors are so scared. I'll be very interested in this trial.



 
I really wonder about holding physicians responsible for an admitted addict that dies from an overdose of prescribed medication. That opens a Pandora's Box of potential arrest and litigation, for all providers who prescribe controlled medications.

Knowingly providing drugs to an addict, especially in non-therapeutic amounts, is yet another form of malpractice. They are DEFINITELY responsible for what they prescribe.
 
I have seen lots of comments on news stories from people upset this was being followed up on. In most overdoses, there may not be any way to determine who provided the drugs. But in this case there was, because it was probably given by a physician. I fully support these investigations.
Since people leave some sort of digital trail on almost a daily basis (phones, video, computer, vehicle, bank) I wouldn't say most overdoses would be too difficult to solve/backtrack. I can fully support this investigation (which I do- been watching this thread like a hawk since it was announced they were seeking to find responsible parties and hold them accountable) while also feel it's sad or that it was in poor taste to say that high profile cases are usually investigated. Like most here (I imagine anyway?) I was also a Perry fan and have been watching this thread and waiting to see who is connected to this, and if it's names we'd also know or be unfamiliar with.
 
Infuriating comment. Nobody is forcing drug dealers and pushers to make money from drugs that kill people and ruin lives, yet they decide to do it anyway. If you have the skills to run an illegal drug trade, you have the skills to do something legit, but chose not to.

How can people be so callous and to shrug their shoulders at these charges? (That rhetorical, not expecting an answer.)
