“A TRIBUTE TO THE GREAT MADIBA IN HIS QUEST FOR FREEDOM THIS 30th ANNIVERSARY OF HIS RELEASE FROM VICTOR VERSTER PRISON IN THE WESTERN CAPE“

BY

WALTER R. CLEMENT B.S MS., NORMAN J CLEMENT RPH., DDS JACK FOLSON RPH

Black Pharmacy Owners, AT Cost Pharmacy, Ft. Myers Fl.,  Aaron Howard PharmD owner, Gulf Med Pharmacy  Cape Coral Fl., Ricardo Fertil PharmD owner, Pronto Pharmacy LLC, Tampa Fl, Norman J Clement RPh., DDS, owner, Oak Hill Hometown Pharmacy owner Martin Ndjou, Top Line Pharmacy, owner Brian Olatunji, have joined together in exposing the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) for harassment, and malicious targeting and return of properties unjustifiably seized. 

THE RED FLAG – Distance

In the exploring role and purpose of the DEA that acts as an unregulated medical agency policing the medical profession without legal standards and grounds.  The DEA Diversion Investigator claims in arbitrary reasoning; their actions are based factors applied that “traveling long distances to fill prescriptions can be a red flag of abuse and diversion if a patient travels a significant distance to a particular pharmacy. 

The DEA has developed criminal elements of free commerce by criminalizing distance travel as elements of criminal conduct.  Whereby a pharmacist is a licensed practitioner who has advanced knowledge of the chemical-physical properties of medications, mechanism of actions, their dosage forms design, will likely not refer to GOOGLE MAPS as an element of patient treatments.  More dangerously, as a result of the DEA’s aggressive policing of community pharmacies many are reluctant to fill any legitimate narcotic analgesic medication prescriptions for non-acute pain patients. 

Some patients are known to spend days on end looking for a pharmacy to fill their prescriptions to no avail.  This has caused massive concerns in the chronic pain disease medical/dental community, where one of the most important goals of any therapy is continuing staple treatment without disruptions. 

It is well understood amongst medical/dental practitioners when disruptions in therapy occur, many of the deleterious effects are likely to happen. For example, patients diagnosed with Sickle Cell Anemia are many times profiled as addicts, rather than as persons with a chronic disease condition needing treatment for pain.

Other examples include persons who have survived traumatic accidents such as automobile accidents, gunshot wounds (civilian and military), notwithstanding leukemia and other cancers.

Indeed, pain management becomes even much more difficult when anxiety and diminished mobility complicates the treatment plans.  

Further, it is well understood, when both medical/dental practitioners and patients can locate a Pharmacy that will fill pain control prescriptions with dignity and respect, both parties will often share that information with others. 

DEA’s RED FLAGS OF OLD JIM CROW

Throughout this entire presentation, it becomes nearly impossible to ignore the racial disparities, and dehumanization without taken into the historical connotation of society as the whole. It is a giant elephant walking in front of us.

However, the difficulty becomes how RACISMO will often deflect from the diverse issue that touches every individual of this nation and beyond versus a bunch of guys who happen to be black pharmacists, who present a matter of human disparities which effects the foundation of our existence.

DEA’s Pharmacy expert, Don Sullivan, interviewed no physicians/dentist, no patient receiving prescriptions, nor reviewed any prescriptions of any patients from Pronto PHARMACY. Further DEA, expert Don Sullivan reviewed no radiographs, performed no physical examinations on patient of Pronto Pharmacy to impeach the primary physician initial diagnosis. 

What DEA expert Don Sullivan a Pharmacy Clinical Professor at The Ohio State University College of Pharmacy, do is profiling each patient forming an opinion base on bias by cleverly eviscerating  the physician-patient relationship.  Then erroneously supports his conclusion of bias with tools such as GOOGLE MAPS were he claims he can effectively conclude the distance patient travels to fills a concluding prescription establish they are illegitimate medical purposes.

Ironically Professor Don Sullivan, works in the vicinity of the James Cancer Center at Ohio State University(right next to the College of Pharmacy at The Ohio State University). Patients travel great distances from all over the world to receive services and have their prescriptions filled, utilizing the hospital pharmacy and neighboring pharmacies. These pharmacies are far exceeding the 30 miles limit from of these patients being treated at the James Cancer Center; Professor Sullivan testified to as being RED FLAGGS in DEA Show Cause Hearing in Tampa Florida January 28-29, 2020.

What further undermines the credibility of both Don Sullivan and DEA Diversion Investigator Richard Alpert most is the 11 patients they identified as unresolvable ‘RED FLAGGS,” are still being treated today, by the same doctor for the same amounts at non- black own Pharmacies. Most importantly, prescriptions filled at these other pharmacies and the physicians are no longer classified RED FLAGGS. Both DEA Diversion Investigator Richard Albert and Pharmacy Expert Don Sullivan could have easily verified this by using the PDMP. So what happened to the RED FLAG?????

These patients continue to contact Pronto Pharmacy to inquire when are we resuming services. They are concerned under this current hostile environment aboutthe increase cost they are now paying for their medications at other Pharmacies.

THE DEA’S JUDGEMENT BY THE MILE MARKER

Currently, the DEA has no statistical guidelines or law to support or establish boundary levels, which are indicative of criminal acts when filling any Control prescription written for patients by a physician who has performed a thorough physical examination, diagnoses supported by medical/dental radiographs and treatment plan.  The DEA guidelines are tactic acts that specifically target American pharmacist.   

In the case of AARRIC Pharmacy, Ft. Myers, Fl., the DEA reasoned that the pharmacist regularly filled controlled substance prescriptions for individuals who traveled an unusual distance.  The DEA further stated that “Obtain or fill a controlled substance is indicative of diversion and/or abuse, and

that such behavior is a red flag that must be addressed prior to dispensing.”  The DEA reasoned that traveling 78 miles round trip and over 53 miles round trip is a red flag that must be addressed prior to dispensing. The DEA also claimed that traveling 45 miles round trip and or 44 miles round trip is a red flag that must be addressed prior to dispensing.

THE DEA AND GOOGLE MAPS

The DEA in their Order to Show Cause on Pronto Pharmarcy, LLC, applied the distance rule using GOOGLE MAPS. Using GOOGLE MAPS, the DEA cited several filled orders. One was stated as approximately 140 miles from the patient to Pronto Pharmacy, LLC (Respondent’s registered address); another was “located approximately 130 miles; the third patient lived “approximately 145 miles, and yet the fourth patient lived approximately 160 miles from Pronto Pharmacy, LLC.

It must be noted the DEA agents applied a higher mileage factor in different warrants to obtain a sense of urgency to support their cause.  We observe in the case of AARRIC pharmacy, the DEA said that traveling 78 miles round trip, and over 53 miles round trip is a red flag that must be addressed prior to dispensing. 

Once again, in the Pronto Pharmacy case, the DEA using GOOGLE MAP stated, a patient was “located approximately 130 miles from Respondent’s registered address, and another lived “approximately 145 miles yet another lived approximately 160 miles.  

If the distance of traveling to obtain a prescription is a factor, these rules should apply to mail-order pharmacies, to citizens driving to Canada and to other pharmacies that fill prescriptions to individuals. Moreover, these Class 2 medications are delivered from manufactures via UPS and other delivery services and all retail stores that sell goods and services. if mishandled can cause harm to the public.   

THE DEA MUST BE DISBAND OR REFORM

CONGRESS MUST INVESTIGATE

By the DEA standards, the manufacturers are operating a criminal drug enterprise, and the delivery service operated as drug carriers. Therefore, the entire pharmaceutical industry is at risk when the DEA applies its unabashed rules. Such actions of a government agency are to be feared. And such actions violated the 1^st, 4^th, 8^th and 14^th amendments.        

The DEA’ S expert opined that “traveling long distances can be a red flag of abuse and diversion if a patient travels a significant distance to a specific pharmacy, especially if the patient also travels significant distance to a particular prescriber”.  The facts to support the probable cause cannot be justified by mere suspicion. “DEA’s expert opined that it can be a red flag of abuse” this cannot support an express intent that a crime is or was afoot. Thus, it cannot establish probable cause.  In fact, the DEA statements that ‘long distances  using GOOGLE MAPS “can be” a red flag of abuse and diversion,’ is a clear application that fails to supports Responsible Suspicion.  

THE US HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES CONGRESS MUST INVESTIGATE

The DEA has no supportive measures to apply further or support their claim that a crime was committed.  Their tacit applications can be applied to any and all retail outlets.  Whereby the acts and application and their idea of enforcement are so vague, that its strikes at the core values of our law.  This agency can no longer be entrusted to protect and serve the citizenry. Their conduct throughout the nation strikes fears in that a law enforcement agency can act at will to claim that a citizen violated the law by merely stating that a specific law was violated. With no supporting facts and or articulations of how the citizen violated the law, this agency acts at will. With little and no restraints.    

DEA’S MATTERS OF ENFORCEMENT ARE BASELESS THE U.S. CONGRESS MUST INVESTIGATE

This lack of knowledge violates the 4th amendment rights.   It becomes apparent the DEA agents lacked sufficient training that their actions violated the constitutional rights under Harris vs. Canton when the failure to train your officers amounts to a policy of no training. 

The actions and acts of performance displayed that the DEA agents show the inadequacy of training in that the DEA Agents failed to adequately understand the scientific methodologies of pharmacology.  Yet, they chose to enforce rules and regulations without adequate pharmacology schooling.  The agents relied on mere Here Say and applied what was heard to medical doctoral professionals.  

Their failure of medical knowledge and training serves as the basis for liability only where the failure to train in relevant respect amounts to deliberate indifference to the constitutional rights of persons with whom the DEA Agents came into contact.  The elements of the DEA agents’ during the

search displayed a lack of significant training.  Whereby in on instant it can be seen that agents disabled and removed the camera system before they searched the facility.  

CONGRESS MUST INVESTIGATE

Therefore, the acts and actions of the DEA’s application fall under the “Fruit of the Poisonous Tree.”  Therefore, these matters of enforcement are baseless, and all items removed must be immediately returned, and all losses of wages and profits must be restored.  

for now, you’re within the norms

February 10, 2020

So, one more time, while most of the population were focused on Iran, Iraq, and Impeachment, CVS- Caremark, acting in greed and behind the scenes is squeezing Mom and Pop Independent Pharmacy.

The process is being accomplished  through the CVS Pharmacy Benefit Managers, thus putting small Mom and Pop Independent Pharmacies out of business. (see attachment)

CVS, actions are appalling yet, even more appalling is the US Attorney Generals Office, through the DEA, prosecuting Black Own fee for services pharmacies, like Oak Hill Hometown Pharmacy, Oak

Hill WV, Gulf Med Pharmacy, Cape Coral Fl., Pronto Pharmacy LLC, Tampa Fl., Top line Pharcies, Lutz, Fl., Best Aide Pharmacy Lancaster, Tx., et al, for limiting insurances intakes.

To this date, not one CVS top management, has been warned or prosecuted for this type of greed.

Oral Health in Relation to Pancreatic Cancer Risk in African American Women (see attached full text)

Hanna Gerlovin, Dominique S. Michaud, Yvette C. Cozier, and Julie R. Palmer DOI: 10.1158/1055-9965.EPI-18-1053 Published April 2019 

Abstract 

Background: Incidence of pancreatic cancer is higher in African Americans than in U.S. whites. We hypothesized that poor oral health, disproportionately common in African Americans and associated with increased risk of pancreatic cancer in several studies of predominantly white populations, may play a role in this disparity. 

Methods: We examined the relation of self-reported measures of oral health (periodontal disease and adult tooth loss) in relation to pancreatic cancer incidence in the prospective Black Women’s Health Study (BWHS). Cox proportional hazard analyses were used to calculate HRs of pancreatic cancer for women with periodontal disease, tooth loss, or both, relative to women who reported neither. Multivariable models adjusted for age, cigarette smoking, body mass index (BMI), type 2 diabetes, and alcohol consumption. 

Results: Participants aged 33 to 81 were followed for an average of 9.85 years from 2007 through 2016, with occurrence of 78 incidence cases of pancreatic cancer. Multivariable HRs for pancreatic cancer incidence were 1.77 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.57–5.49] for periodontal disease with no tooth loss, 2.05 (95% CI, 1.08–3.88) for tooth loss without report of periodontal disease, and 1.58 (95% CI, 0.70–3.57) for both tooth loss and periodontal disease. The HR for loss of at least five teeth, regardless of whether periodontal disease was reported, was 2.20 (95% CI, 1.11–4.33). 

Conclusions: The poor oral health experienced by many African Americans may contribute to their higher incidence of pancreatic cancer. 

Impact: Future research will assess associations between the oral microbiome and pancreatic cancer risk in this population.

 Masters Case presentation University of Florida, College of Dentistry CDP-29, May 2018, candidate American Academy of General Dentistry (FAGD)

“A Re-Examination of Dental Competency, the mistreatment of an African-American young woman by The Chief Examiner William Bell DDS, and the failure of The Commission on Dental Competency Assessment  (CDCA) to address her complaint and the dentist candidate’s appeal”

District 6 Museum, Cape Town South Africa

THE STATEMENT OF FACTS

1. The Patient Ayana Smith of Tampa Fl., was presented as a candidate for Periodontal Scaling for The Commission on Dental Competency Assessment (CDCA).
2. Pre-exam photographs, radiographs and oral exam demonstrated, Ms. Smith Generalized Gingivitisto localized Periodontitis.
3. Ms. Smith, states upon examination for Periodontal Scaling, two of the Examiners greeted her professionally utilizing Universal Precautions, Face mask, grown, caps, and magnification headlights.
4. The two Examiners agreed she was a candidate the Periodontal Scaling.
5. Ms. Smith, then sates suddenly a man identified as “The Chief Examiner” came into the dental cubicle began arguing with the two examiners, he put on pair of gloves, told her to open up and replied “NO.”
6. Ms. Smith states, “The Chief Examiner” stated, “Your mouth wasn’t dirty enough,” the Dental candidate failed this section of the examination for “Lack of Clinical Judgment”

RE: CANDIDATE APPEAL

My name is Norman J Clement, I am both Dentist/Pharmacist currently enrolled in my second year Comprehensive Dentistry Program, Class 29(CDP 29), The Academy of General Dentistry (AGD) (Master track program) at the University of Florida College of Dentistry (see exhibit 1).

I am generating this appeal because I strongly believe my results on The Commission on Dental Competency Assessments (CDCA) were adversely affected by extraordinary conditions during the examination which affected the final outcome of my examination.

This appeal arises from the demonstrated outright failure by a CDCA examiner WILLIAM  “BILL” BELL, (THE CHIEF EXAMINER)  “to comply with CDCA material examination requirements, as contained in the Candidates Manual, that directly caused this candidate to fail the examination.”

STATEMENT OF CONTENT OF APPEAL

1. The examination date May 5-6, 2017
2. University of Florida School of Dentistry, Gainesville, Florida.
3. Norman J Clement (candidate)
4. THE CHIEF EXAMINER, WILLIAM “BILL” BELL, MORE THAN DEMONSTRATED A CRITICAL LACK OF CLINICAL JUDGEMENT, DIAGNOSTIC SKILLS, BY FURTHER DEMONSTRATING COMPLETE DISREGARD FOR THE ORAL STRUCTURES AND WELFARE BY VIOLATION OF UNIVERSAL PRECATIONS[i] OF THE (MY) PATIENT AYANA SMITH (see patients exhibit 2).

ARGUMENT

I failed the Restorative/Periodontal CDCA examination because of the Critical Lack of Clinical Judgment/Diagnostic Skills and bias directed toward me by of Chief Examiner William “Bill” Bell during the entire exam. On Saturday, while setting up for the exam, Dr. Bell came over to me an asked what was my candidates number. I told him 161, but I also thought that to be somewhat unusual.  I further strongly know I passed the entire Manikin Portion of the CDCA Board Examination of May 5, 2017.

METHODOLOGY

PERIODONTAL POST RE-XAMINE

Patient Ayana Smith was re-examined (post CDCA board exam) using criteria procedures similarly to those established for Periodontal Scaling Examination on the CDCA Dental Examination Board.[ii]  Three (3) examiners, William “Bill” Bell DDS The Chief Examiner CDCA, Nora Delgado-Velasquez DDS, Practice Limited to Periodontics and Implants, Diplomate, America Board of Periodontology, Tampa, FL 33609 (see Delgado-Velasquez, exhibit- 3), and Darnell Kaigler DDS.MS, PhD, Diplomate, American Board of Periodontology, Associate Professor Department of Periodontics and Oral Medicine, University of Michigan Professor  (see Kaigler’s exhibit-4) determined if patient Ayana Smith met specifications of a CDCA Dental Board candidate.  Both Drs. Delgado-Velasquez and Kaigler’s findings are published and found in exhibits 3 and 4, of this Appeal. Dr. William “Bill” Bell’s findings are found from CDCA examination results and his observed behavior in patient Ayana Smith’s exhibit -2.

RESTORATIVE:

Patient Ayana Smith was a candidate for the Restorative Class-II, composite. Patient Smith had two clinical lesions, tooth 29, MESIAL-OCCUSAL (MO) and tooth 12, DISTAL-OCCUSSAL (DO) that met CDCA Board Criteria. Tooth #29 was selected, as this was the most ideal and simplest lesion.

Ms. Smith states upon presentation at least 2 clinical examiners agreed tooth #29 met CDCA Board criteria however Dr. Bell somehow intervened and tooth #29 was rejected (see exhibit-2 overall statement of patient).

Patient Ayana Smith returned for examination of tooth 12, DO (which was much more difficult) and stated Dr. Bell appeared outraged at her presence again. After a long discussion with other examiners the procedure was allowed. Patient Ayana Smith states, Dr. Bell wore gloves only during his examination of her throughout the restorative exams (see patient exhibit-2, pg2, 3).

STATEMENT OF FACTS

Patient Ayana Smith of Tampa, Fl. (see exhibit-6) was presented as a candidate for Periodontal Scaling for the CDCA examine held May 5-6, 2017, University of Florida College of Dentistry. Both pre-exam photographs (see exhibit-5, radiographs) and oral exam showed Patient Ayana Smith to have Generalized Gingivitis to localized Periodontitis. Patient Ayana Smith was selected as a candidate for the board using guidelines of CDCA Candidates Manual, [iii] lower anterior and posteriors 22 thru 31 were then selected.

Patient Ayana Smith, states upon examination for Periodontal Scaling, two of the Examiners greeted her professionally utilizing Universal Precautions, facemask, gowns, caps and magnification, headlights (see patient exhibit-2, pg2, 3).  Patient Ayana Smith further states these two examiners agreed she was a candidate. Patient Ayana Smith said Dr. Bell then came into the dental cubicle argued with the two examiners, put on a pair of gloves only, said “open up” and replied “NO.” I failed this part of the exam.

“YOUR MOUTH WASN’T DIRTY ENOUGH”

“YOU MUST BE HUNGRY”

In Patient Ayana Smith’s own hand writing she describes the deplorable way William “Bill” Bell degraded her, then made the statements directly to her that “YOUR MOUTH WASN’T DIRTY ENOUGH” AND OTHER DERAGATORY, DENIGRATING REMARKS (see patient exhibit-2 pg. 3).

Dr. Darnell Kaigler Jr., was asked to chart the teeth he would have chosen for scaling on the CDCA exam (see Kaigler’s exhibit-4) using their criteria. Dr. Kaigler’s charting of  Patient Ayana Smith’s lower dentition was nearly identical to the charting I presented on the day of the exam (see Kaigler’s exhibit-4).

“OVERWHELMING CLINICAL EVIDENCE”

The Clinical evidence against Dr. William “Bill” Bell’s complete failure to identify moderate generalize gingivitis (see Delgado-Velasquez, Kaigler exhibits 4&5) in  Patient Ayana Smith is simply overwhelming, and has to be based on a biased conclusion which doesn’t belong in the field of Dentistry.

Notwithstanding, Dr. William “Bill” Bell failed to use Universal Precaution Infection Control Procedures as published by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention,[iv]  by failing to wear a masks and gowns during examinations of patient Ayana Smith (see patient’s exhibits 7,8,9).

“OPEN YOUR MOUTH”

Ms. Ayana Smith stated in her own words and handwriting (see exhibit-2, pg-2) during both Periodontal and Restorative examination procedures “Mr. Bell, examine my mouth…by simply  throwing on a pair of gloves  and quickly uttering open up.” Ms. Smith was so outraged with Dr. William “Bill” Bell, she felt  compelled to further document his “sub par treatment” and took pictures (see exhibit-2, pg-3).

In patient Ayana Smith’s photos of William “Bill” Bell DDS, he is seen writing and doesn’t appear to have worn universal protective gown or mask (see patient exhibit-7, 8,9). Dr. Bell’s badge is clearly identifiable (see exhibit-7).

In preparation of tooth #12 access ideal opening and proximal box were completed. Dental caries was extensive involving areas under Dentin Enamel Junction (DEJ), which required I approximately 11 modifications, in which all caries were removed. The Examiners approved “Every Modification”. My final request was placement of dycal, glass ionomer base, and then final composite restoration.

According to Patient Ayana Smith all examiners agreed except Dr. William “Bill” Bell. I was terminated from CDCA Examination and prevented from moving forward on remaining of CDCA Exam.

FINDINGS

PERIODONTICS

The finding from Nora Delgado-Velasquez, DDS and Darnell Kaigler Jr DDS, both of whom are Diplomate America Board of Periodontology are more than clear Patient Ayana Smith was a candidate for Periodontal Scaling the day before the CDCA Board Examination, the day of the CDCA Board Examination on May 6. 2017, (at the time she was presented for treatment) and the days after the CDCA Board Examination (see Delgado-Velasquez, Kaigler exhibits 3&4).

On the day of the exam William “Bill” Bell DDS, adversely influenced and rejected Patient Ms. Smith as a candidate on the Periodontal section of the CDCA Exam, and said to her directly “Your mouth wasn’t dirty enough.” (See patient’s exhibit-2 pg. 3)

Dr. Nora Delgado-Velasquez, DDS, evaluated Patient Ayana Smith post exam, May 8, 2017, in her office in Tampa, Fl., and found “Heavy generalized plaque, Moderate supragingival calculus on lower anterior teeth and #3.  Generalized light subgingival calculus detected on probing mostly on enamel surfaces”(see Delgado-Velasquez, exhibits 3)

Patient Ayana Smith was flown to Detroit and was further evaluated by Darnell Kaigler Jr. DDS, MS, PhD in his Detroit Dental Specialty Center, May 22, 2017, and recorded during the exam:

Plague Score (O’Leary 1972) estimate 90%, Bleeding Index 63%, Calculus Moderate supragingival (generalized) Detectable subgingival (all upper and lower molars; 23-26) Probing Depths, 2-4mm in the upper and lower anterior; 2-5mm in the upper and lower posterior. In the Field of Law these Clinical Finding are Prima Fascia Evidence (see Kaigler’s exhibits 4).

PERIODONTAL THERAPY

On May 22, 2017, Patient Ayana Smith received periodontal therapy while at the Detroit Dental Specialty Center (prophy plus) with generalized scaling throughout the dentition to remove supra and sub-gingival deposits. It was recommended that Patient Ayana Smith seek regular dental care at her previous dental office or another local dental office for follow-up and long-term maintenance. Ms. Ayana Smith flew back and returned safely to Tampa, Florida that very night.

RESTORATIVE

I did not lack Clinical judgment and I strongly believe had it not been for Dr. Bell’s interferences I would have passed the Restorative section of this test. I was told by another examiner, Dr.Bell  stated the cavity prep was going all over the place.

I agree, this was not going to be an ideal prep. Good clinical judgment is “one must go where the caries goes.”  I did not have a pulp exposure. The internal prep was less than ideal but I removed all the caries and Patient Ayana Smith experienced no post-op pain.

I should have been approved to complete the exam. I was stopped by Dr. William Bell’s lack of clinical judgment. The failure to remove dental caries is Poor Clinical judgment. I know I had passed this exam.

DISCUSION

No disease state can ever be treated if there is a failure to properly diagnose and more specifically when bias is allowed to interfere with overwhelming clinical evidence[v].

Yet, “I Know Where I Have Been” and while it is not easy and painful challenging any individual Dental Board Examiner, without a full understanding of the potential adverse consequence. 

I could have just as easily sat back and done nothing or like many of my dental colleagues said to me, “ Norm, just pray about it” and “get ready for the next dental board exam.”

Yet, in the song “I Know Where I Have Been” as sung by Dana Owens also known as Queen Latifah, “from the movie Hair Spray it is stated:

I’ve come to be compelled always to be an advocate for my patient and for better dental healthcare inspight of myself.

YET ON THIS DAY

On this day William “Bill” Bell was so busy trying to be a bigot, so busy trying to be a racist, so busy trying to be the toughest Dental Examiner on the CDCA Dental Board Examination, he forgot how to be fair. 

However, I don’t believe William “Bill” Bell DDS is a racist, or bigot at all. The eight hundred pound monster in this room is the Critical Lack of Clinical Judgment, diagnostic skills, demonstrating complete disregard for the oral structures and welfare of Patient Ayana Smith by violation of universal precautions[vi]

Groots Constantia Winery, Southern Suburbs, Cape Town South Africa

So on that day of May 6, 2017, William “Bill” Bell DDS was so busy trying to be someone he isn’t, he forgot who he was, and what he was, …. A Dentist…A Clinical Examiner. Instead he just looked at Patient Ayana Smith and looked right through her…. as a modern day Sarjie Bartman[vii] (Hottenot Venus)[viii] as he looked at me and looked right through me.

CONCLUSION

WILLIAM “BILL” BELL DDS must be removed as Chief Examiner of the CDCA Dental Board Examination as having demonstrated poor clinical judgment and failure to meet minimum appropriate clinical standard of care for the patient.

More Importantly William “Bill” Bell failed to use Universal Precaution Infection Control Procedures as published by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention,[ix] by failing to wear masks and gowns when examining Patient Ayana Smith. 

Patient Ayana Smith (see exhibit-2, pg-2) felt mistreated Dr. William “Bill” Bell and became so outraged. 

Therefore, I file this timely Appeal and request review and redress of the entire exam I took at the University of Florida College of Dentistry May 5 thru 6, 2017.

In these times of fake news and alternative facts (both which have absolutely no merits in the Profession of Dentistry)…. There is one thing I’ve learned in life from a man neither I liked nor voted for, but have come to greatly respect: PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN;

“WE MUST TRUST AND VERIFY”

Gerald Kiley 

Respondents pre hearing statements 

Pronto Pharmacy LLC v United States Drug Enforcement

HEARING JANUARY 28-31 Tampa Fla., (Federal Timberlake Building)

TAMPA FLORIDA

Gerald Kiley 61 year old male, has for the past 3 years traveled every 30 days to Pronto Pharmacy each month  round trip more than 340 miles to fill his prescriptions. lives in Cape Coral, Fort Myers area 

Mr. Kiley states: 

“ I come to Pronto because the availability of his prescription medication, is not down there (Ft. Myers Cape Coral area). He furthers states when he brings his prescription into a regular pharmacy such as CVS or a Walgreens they tell him they don’t have it, we don’t carry it anymore.

He fines, these pharmacy attitudes a suspect and profiling.

Mr. Kiley further states 

“ I have severe back pain, degenerative disk in his neck. sometime I can’t sit many times, i’m dependent on this medications and I’ve been of these medications for nearly 5 years. his pain his related to  injuries in several car accidents, he was a painter and has fallen off ladders before. (see IMG_9157.mov_Gerald Kiley, 3.21 mins)

Mr. Gerald Kiley States:

He heard about Pronto Pharmacy thru a friend of his who had been coming to Pronto because he too was having problem getting his prescriptions filled in the Fort. Meyer, Cape Coral area.

Mr. Kiley, after reviewing statement from the August 23, 2019 Order To Show Cause (OTSC-PP8-19) issue to Pronto Pharmacy,  states he pays by cash because he has no insurance, that he is not a junkie and not selling his medications and he has to pay by cash and that he is not wealthy.  He refutes the DEA assertion he is abusing his medication(see IMG_9158.mov-gerald_k_se.copy,2.52mins)

Mr. Kiley, further reviewed and was read the OTSC(PP8-19) in which the DEA opined that traveling distance was a significant “red flag” and the prescriptions being filled by Pronto-Pharmacy were being diverted and should not have been filled.

Mr. Kiley, strongly disagree with the DEA’s assertion, he states: he is not abusing his medication, diverting his medication,  he says “I’m am 61 years old and falling apart,” and has not violated any State or Federal law…(see img_9159mov-GK-reviews_OTSC-pp8-19_and Don_Sullivan…copy, 3mins)

Mr. Kiley, states: He’s driving more than 200 miles to have his prescription for non acute pain, which is typed on the prescription. Mr. Kiley, also states in this video he went to the Pharmacy next door to his physicians off, and that pharmacist told him he didn’t have the medication (see img_9162.mov-GK_identified_disease-states_copy,2.37 mins). 

Pharmacist, Norman J Clement stated at the time he believed the pharmacist next door to his physician was lying. Pharmacist, Norman J Clement latter learned the Pharmacy was “AT COST PHARMACY”, the Pharmacist was Aaron Howard PharmD. Pharmacist, Clement also learn he and Howard had worked together while both had been employed by CVS Pharmacy.  Aaron Howard had graduated from Florida A&M University College of Pharmacy with my daughter (AC Clement) in 2003.

Pharmacist, Aaron Howard spoke with Clement on December 8th, 2019 stated “Clement’s statement are correct and true,” and that he did mis-lead Mr. Kiley and many other patients because he was becoming increasingly afraid to fill control medication because the DEA was harassing him at his store. 

https://www.nhregister.com/technology/businessinsider/article/What-CVS-is-doing-to-mom-and-pop-pharmacies-in-12793335.php

Pharmacist, Aaron Howard,  learned of the Pronto Pharmacy plight and called Clement while he was on the Golf Course Sunday morning November 24, 2019. The two struck it well and Clement learned of a 3rd DEA raid on Gulf Coast Pharmacy, 11/18/2019 where an Order To Show Cause (OTSC-GCP11-19)

was issued to Pharmacy owner Ricardo Fertil PharmD. Fertil and Howard had been business partner but separated in early 2016.

Howard and Fertil are not generally on speaking terms however realize DEA was targeting Black Owned Pharmacies likely under the believe they were easy enforcement targets. Yet despite their difference and grievance both have united/join forces together with Clement, Guy Decker RPh., Jack Folson RPh., Walter R Clement, law enforcement, Richard C. Clement, C-Systems tech., Norman L Clement, pharm-tech., Jelani Z. Clement B.S., MBA as “THE TEAM”, our Coach is DALE SISCO Esq.

PRACTICING PHARMACY WHILE BLACK A NEW KIND OF THREAT TO AMERICA

So, while we are affixed to Iran, Iraq, and Impeachment, Black Owned Pharmacies in the normal practice of Pharmacy, through out the country are being summarily targeted, raided, property (see video below Rebecca)

illegally seized, and issued orders as “Imminent Threats to Public Health and Safety” by the DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency). See below Order to Show Cause Pronto Pharmacy

More importantly, DEA’s pharmacy expert Donal Sullivan, a Clinical Professor at The Ohio State University College of Pharmacy, opines people like Rebecca who come to Pronto Pharmacy are abusers and their prescriptions are not for legitimate purposes.

Dr. Sullivan, classifies patients like Rebecca as unresolvable “Red Flags” and no reasonable Pharmacist, would ever fill her prescription. Patient Rebecca, states she comes to Pronto Pharmacy because a Walgreen Pharmacist, on 78th and Palm River Road called her a dope addict and refused to fill her prescriptions (see video below)

Dr. Sullivan testified, under cross examination from Attorney for Pronto Dale Sisco of Tampa Fl., in a DEA Administrative Court proceedings January 29, 2020, Timberlake Bldg., he has never interviewed both Rebecca or any patient being treated at Pronto Pharmacy or for that matter any prescribing practitioners. Nor, has Dr. Sullivan reviewed any patient(s) charts or radiographs. In fact, he testified he didn’t have to because the Red Flags were unresolvable.

Many of these Black owned Pharmacies have been in business more than 10 years.
In just the past 6 months at least 7 or more Black owned Pharmacies have been attacked and classified as “Public Health Threats” and Control Substance Registration suspended. See below Order to Show Cause Oak Hill Hometown Pharmacy
