The Charlatanry of Dr. Timothy King and the Opioid False Crisis

The provided excerpt from youarewithinthenorms.com is titled, ā€œBROTHER, YOU CAN’T GO TO WAR WITHOUT MORPHINE, AND WITHOUT MORPHINE ALL NATIONS WILL FALL;ā€ DR. TIM KING, MD., THE AXIS OF EVIL – youarewithinthenormsā€, and serves as a highly critical and accusatory article against Dr. Timothy E. King.

The authors, a group of medical advocates and professionals, denounce Dr. King as a “charlatan” and “RAT KING” whose pseudo-scientific methods have caused a “grave miscarriage of justice”.

AT THE HEART TIM KING

Specifically, the article focuses on the conviction of Dr. Meredith Norris, MD, and Jessica Spayd for illegally distributing controlled substances, arguing that King’s testimony, based on unvalidated data systems, was crucial and fraudulent.

The research also claims that Dr. King’s involvement in other cases, such as the one involving Dr. Charles Szyman, who later died by suicide, underscores the harmful impact of relying on his unreliable expert opinions in legal cases related to the “OPIOID FALSE CRISIS.”

youarewithinthenorms ” strongly critiques the integrity and methodology ofĀ Dr. Timothy E. King, MD, labeling him theĀ “RAT KING”Ā and a charlatan whose unreliable “forensic system” has led to grave injustices. The central argument focuses on theĀ miscarriage of justiceĀ in both Jessica Spayd ANP and Dr. Meredith Norris’s convictions, allegedly predicated on King’s unvalidated, pseudo-scientific analysis of prescription data.

The authors assert that King’s testimony, often treated as gospel despite lacking scientific rigor, exemplifies aĀ systemic failureĀ whereĀ financial incentivesĀ and biased methodologies trump patient care and objective truth, tragically leading to destroyed careers and, in at least one other case, physician suicide.

FDA-NARCOTIC ANALGESICS MORPHINE OXYCODONE 

Let’s set the stage with the wizard behind the curtain Dr. Timothy King. King’s claim to fame? A forensic system that supposedly discerns whether prescriptions for controlled substances are issued for legitimate medical purposes.

His patent application (Pub. No.: US 2020/0143925 A1) is a magnum opus of pseudo-science, relying on arbitrary data classification symbols—ticks, circles, and crosses—to allege deviations from some nebulous standard of care.Ā These symbols are as scientific as a child’s doodles, yet King’s system is presented as the gold standard in forensic analysis. The complexity of determiningĀ whether controlled substances are prescribed legitimately is immense.

There are no objective ā€œswitchesā€ or universally accepted protocols to conclude if a prescription is outside the usual course ofĀ medical practice. Yet, King’s methodology pretends to simplify this complexity into a neat, data-driven package devoid of scientific validation or peer review. It’s akin to a fortune teller predicting the weather—intriguing but utterly unreliable.

THE CANDY MAN

Timothy E. King, MD ā€œThe Rat King Mother of All Fraudā€ 

In 2016, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued itsĀ Guideline for Prescribing Opioids for Chronic Pain. This document , and the work of Dr, Nabron Dasgupta, et al., formalized a fundamental shift in the MME concept, reframing it from a measure of analgesic equivalence to a proxy forĀ overdose risk (toxicology). The guideline established the 90 MME per day threshold as a point where clinicians should exercise strong caution, citing population-level studies linking higher doses to increased mortality.

Although the CDC Guideline presented the 90 MME/day value as a cautionary point for clinical re-evaluation, not an absolute prohibition, it has been widely misapplied as an absolute prohibition. Numerous state laws, insurance policies, and pharmacy benefit managers have adopted it as a “hard limit.” For instance, the State of Maine explicitly prohibits prescribing any combination of opioid medication that exceeds 100 MME per day.

According to Dasgupta,

“..this rigid application transforms a clinical guideline into a de facto legal standard, a practice the CDC itself later cautioned against. The transformation of the 90 MME/day threshold into a rigid benchmark, combined with its high-stakes application in legal and regulatory settings, exposes the metric’s central, disqualifying flaw: the profound lack of a single, standardized, and universally accepted definition for its calculation…”

The Circus of Legal Proceedings

HydromorphoneĀ 

In the courtroom, King’s testimony is treated like gospel.Ā  In the case of Dr. Meredith Norris, his so-called expert analysis was pivotal in her conviction.Ā  King reviewedĀ patient files and, using hisĀ fraudulent system, concluded that Dr. Norris’s prescribing practices were ā€œopioid-centeredā€ and not improving patient outcomes.

A graphic featuring the title 'ANATOMY OF THE CLOWN SHOW' with a subtitle indicating it is about a doctor's conflict with the Department of Justice, including a quote from Dr. Christopher Russo discussing a lack of medical defense.

This conclusion, drawn from his unvalidated and biased methodology, was enough to convict Dr. Norris on 15 counts of illegally distributing controlled substances. The prosecution leaned heavily on King’s testimony even though his system lacked a scientific basis and failed to account for the subjective nature of pain. His methodology is as reliable as a horoscope, yet it was given undue weight in a serious criminal prosecution. This is where the real magic happens—not in the objective analysis of facts but in the art of deception.

The Real Victims

Merideth C. Norris, DOĀ 

Dr. Norris’s conviction is not just a personal tragedy; it’s emblematic of a broader systemic failure. Patients who testified about the positive impact of Dr. Norris’s care were effectively silenced by King’s pseudo-scientific mumbo jumbo.

Charles R. Szyman, MDĀ a pain specialist from Manitowoc, WI, accused of over-prescribing narcotic medications, was found not guilty of all charges by a jury Nov 17, 2017. Dr. Szyman was never able to recoup from the depression the attack on him caused. In February, 2018, he committed suicide. And instead of writing about him as a physician doing his job and helping his patients, the unethical media still just wrote about the charges against him in their announcements of his death.

Their lived experiences were overshadowed by the dubious data classifications of a man whose financial incentives are tightly woven with the prosecution’s interests.

CONCLUSION

King’s involvement in other cases, such as the tragic saga of Dr. Charles Szyman, who took his own life following an acquittal marred by King’s testimony, highlights the devastating consequences of relying on such unreliable expert opinions.Ā  Dr. King’s methods haveĀ ruined careers, tarnished reputations, and destroyed lives while masquerading as objective forensic analysis.
