Space science Neuroscience Addiction Pain Now Facing 40 YEARS PRISON
BY DR. L. JOSEPH PARKER, MD
COMES NOW,
MEDICAL PAIN CARE PATIENTS, PHYSICIAN SPECIALISTS, PHARMACISTS, AND DENTISTS ARE FED UP WITH DEA TARGETING AND LACK OF CONGRESSIONAL OVERSIGHT, AND NOW WE ARE FIGHTING BACK
“THE CALL FOR WAR HAS SOUNDED”
INTRODUCTION
“WE ARE PHYSICIANS, NOT STREET DRUG DEALERS”
The call came in during a busy workday. My comprehensive primary care clinic had been built over a decade of hard work and had a general practice clinic staffed by a capable former surgeon and several nurse practitioners, a pain management program, and an addiction treatment clinic.
We also had several counselors on staff. I immediately recognized the voice on the other end of the line as a friend of mine who was a pain specialist. Her office was at the other end of the state from mine, but we had worked together off and on for over twelve years.
She told me that the medical board had called her down and complained that she had some patients on opiate therapy at more than 90 MME. She had argued that the CDC meant the guidelines for primary care physicians, not specialists. They were not responsive to this argument and immediately suspended her medical license.
She and I had discussed the dangers of continuing to treat pain, knowing that the DEA wanted to make some examples and several doctors in our state had suffered criminal charges.
THE D.E.A. IS A CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT
THE U.S. GOVERNMENT CAN’T ENFORCE ILLICIT TRAFFICKING WHEN THEIR DRUG AGENTS AND PROSECUTORS ARE UNDER THE COVERS, “FUCKING THE PROSTITUTES PROVIDED TO THEM BY THE DRUG CARTELS AND LAUNDERING THEIR MONEY”
AND THOSE ARE THE DEA AGENT’S WORDS
The complaints published about their practices left us bewildered. They had charged cash, treated patients under fifty, and had patients who traveled long distances. Another was charged with complaints of his having treated people he knew (or should have known) suffered from addiction.
I further noticed that the DEA was quoting morphine dose/milligram equivalents, a widely used fictitious legal unscientific concept that has no basis in medicine. Thus, the press and the public were left with the impression that these were individual pills. I wrote a letter to the reporter trying to correct these misstatements but never saw a correction.

They were also criticized that a percentage of their patients had criminal records quoting a percentage. I wondered where the doctor could go to get accurate criminal record information.
More importantly, when I checked the quoted percentage, it was lower than our state average. But more importantly, since when can a doctor not treat someone who has a criminal conviction?
Then, a third doctor was hit. She had prescribed Xanax to a patient in crisis at a McDonald’s parking lot. Not a crime, but then she panicked and lied about it when questioned by federal agents, allowing herself to fall victim to 18USC 1001. Lying to a federal agent. The first physician was 71 years old and pleaded guilty to one count of prescribing a Schedule IV medication, which was supposed to have a maximum term of five years in prison.
But the government can argue what it calls “relevant conduct’, at which they attribute any patient deaths as “related to” the prescriptions. The doctor was sentenced to 120 months in federal prison. The second doctor pleaded guilty to wrongfully prescribing alprazolam and was sentenced to four years in prison.
Finally, the third doctor was sentenced, also for alprazolam. In this case, the government agreed that no prison time was necessary, but the judge felt that a message should be sent to physicians treating pain, and she was sentenced to three years.
These events were worrisome as none of the complaints listed are actually crimes. I had taken hundreds of hours of CME in pain management and addiction, and no one had listed age, criminal history, or payment method as problems.
My practice had set up very strict procedures and protocols to avoid diversion and monitor for signs of addiction. I had joined both the American Academy of Pain Medicine and the American Society of Addiction Medicine. I was taking board review courses, as I find these to be excellent ways to stay up to date.
I had even traveled to take in-person classes held by Harvard Medical School. Everyone in our practice who received controlled medications had counseling made available to them, and we would not accept a patient for opiate therapy unless they came to us already on opiates with a chronic pain diagnosis made and confirmed by other medical professionals and specialists.
We made an exception for cancer patients, as oncologists were referring patients to us for maintenance treatment.
DATA REFUTE DEA’S NOTION OVERPRESCRIBING CAUSED THE SOCALLED OPIOID CRISIS.
ARGUMENT
THE ROAD TO HELL IS PAVED WITH GOOD INTENTIONS AND CONSEQUENCES OF GOVERNMENT OVERREACH
This concept of unintended consequences was first noted in Western European Culture by John Locke, a philosopher and medical physician who discussed the unintended consequences of interest rate regulation in his letter in 1691 to Sir John Somers, a Member of Parliament.
John Locke attended Westminster School and Christ Church, University of Oxford. At Oxford, he studied medicine, which would play a central role in his life. He became a highly influential philosopher, writing about political philosophy, epistemology, and education. Locke’s writings heavily influenced the writers of the American Constitution.
Locke’s philosophy of individual rights and limited government provides a rallying cry for defending the rights of medical practitioners against governmental overreach. It’s a reminder that the pursuit of justice must always be tempered with respect for individual liberties.
Locke’s theories laid the groundwork for the principles underpinning limited representative government and the protection of basic rights and freedoms under the rule of law, ideals deeply ingrained in American society’s fabric.
The unintended Consequences of Government Overreach and the Failure of Congressional Oversight have resulted in the gross Targeting of Medical Providers. The D.E.A.’s painkiller campaign has cast a chill over the doctor-patient candor necessary for successful treatment.
It has resulted in the pursuit and prosecution of well-meaning doctors and prosecutorial abuse in the use of Civil Asset forfeiture. It has also scared many doctors out of pain management altogether and likely persuaded others not to enter it, thus worsening the already widespread problem of undertreated or untreated chronic pain.
It is time to change the public narrative and force the repudiation and withdrawal of the 2016 and 2022 CDC opioid prescribing guidelines on grounds of verifiable fraud and disinformation that have damaged the lives of millions of US citizens.
