Wow, that press conference by Kornfeld's attorney was very sobering. But it doesn't sound like Prince had agreed to go to rehab. He was going to be spoken to about a rehab program in an attempt to convince him to go, after being "stabilized" by the local medical doctor. I'm not sure what "stabilized" means, except maybe being given the meds sent by Kornfeld. But those meds sound like they're for withdrawal treatment, not for "stabilizing."
Who's to to say Prince would have agreed to go into treatment? And it sounds like he was very bad off to have his staff call this doctor for a life saving mission. I think I heard the attorney say (but not positive) that Prince knew about the morning meeting with the local Dr and Kornfeld (i.e., it wasn't going to be a surprise ambush-type thing). But I'm not sure about that.
But he was riding his bike a day or two before. Or maybe thats just untrue speculation. How could he have been so bad off and riding a bike?
And then someone took him to Walgreens after his staff had called for emergency help to get him into treatment? Who took him to Walgreens and what did they think he was picking up Rx wise? Maybe Prince lied and said it was antibiotics or something. Actually, who knows what the med(s) were that he picked up although supposedly they found opioids on his person or near him.
This is is all so crazy and hard to understand. It sounds like the LE officials might be after Dr Kornfeld and/or his son. I wonder why. They hadn't even met or spoken to Prince by the time he died, and it seems like they were trying to help, not harm.
I'm thinking that young Andrew and possibly his father may be looking at some sort of trafficking charges or something along those lines.
Those meds are not suppose to be given to anyone who has not been seen, examined and assessed.
Also , Andrew is not a doctor and not qualified to,be delivering and or giving those meds to anyone...
I agree with you and feel awful for the poor guy, but when I heard he had Suboxene on him and wasn't a doctor it set off an alarm in my head.
Suboxene is a useful tool to wean people off of the opiates, but I know for a fact that it can be abused.
I know a lady who's daughter is in jail right now for selling hers. It's also my exes drug of choice right now and I asked him one time if there is a high to it and he said he does get a buzz on it, he sure looks like he does, but then again, he's an addict and they tend to way over do .
It comes in a film like strip and they sell the strip for $30 or a piece of it for $5
I'm told that since the opiates are harder to get now people are going to the clinic. ( don't ask me what kind of clinic cause I don't know ) ...anyway they get it much like heroin users get their methadone and then they sell it ...
It's insane...
My point being, it's not just something you carry around and dispense .... Especially if you aren't a doctor.
Another thing I wondered about is if the father ( the doctor ) is licensed to even practice in Minnesota ?
I heard them talking on one of the news shows and they were questioning how they handled it and saying that they proper thing for them to do would have been once they were told he was in a medical crisis , they should have called an ambulance and had him taken to a hospital to be stabilized..
So, I'm thinking there may be some charges leveled against them.
DISCLAIMER... This is total speculation on my part ...
