Comment(DeLuca): OK. DEA raids doc – seizes patient records – suspends DEA license forcing abandonment of patients – conducts an ‘inquiry’ that ‘focused on diversion’ that results only in media smear of doc. No Charges.

One year later DEA it is off the case, and U.S. Attorney Kurt Alme has ‘no comment’. Meanwhile, patients suffered, ‘We weren’t treated good by doctors at the hospitals, DEA has really intimidated [them].’ The doc’s life is upside down, his practice a shambles.

This is how it works – how DEA can continue to mislead the press saying: We arrest so few docs – how could we be responsible for the Chilling Effect and the Pain Crisis?

This is how you get an entire community of docs to serve a police agenda to the detriment of patient care with nothing more than a innuendo and an ‘inquiry.’

Why do you support this when the price is so high?
