I don't understand what you're saying here. All I'm saying is that doctors shouldn't be providing patients with large amounts of drugs just because the patient asks for them. They're supposed to be the experts and they're supposed to be looking out for their patients' best interests.

This was about preying on an addict for money.

An indictment unsealed Thursday alleges Perry turned to Los Angeles doctor Salvador Plasencia when his regular doctors refused to give him more ketamine. Prosecutors allege Plasencia cashed in on Perry’s desperation and addiction, getting him to pay $55,000 in cash for large amounts of the drug in the two months before his death.

“I wonder how much this moron will pay,” Plasencia texted a co-defendant, according to his indictment.

He pleaded not guilty to seven counts of distribution of ketamine in an appearance in federal court on Thursday afternoon.

Totally agree. Doctors haven't been doctors for a long time now. They go to medical school and then address symptoms as the system dictates and then make as much as they can around that. Being a real doctor is lawsuit central. The system is broken

So we got a dead addict and a shitty doctor locked up.

Seems like an all around win for society

Well, yeah, there's that.

I've been dealing with a health issue recently, and it's astounding how much information is available on the internet (from reliable sources). There's a ton of science that's really detailed and interesting when you delve into it. But it does lead to a "if this, then do that" system. That works great for straightforward stuff, but I can also see how it could go off the rails if it's not straightforward.

I think having large organizations leading research is great. Having large organizations providing on-the-ground health care is more risky. They have more information and resources, but also more strict policies about "if this, then that."

You're a moron period. You wanted to bring up socialism in medicine, and you are 100000000% wrong, but you still act like you know what you're talking about.

That's exactly what it was.
