A doctor is convicted for 2.5 million improper prescriptions
“Dr. Harry Meyer Katz, 79, of Dittmer, was convicted of 176 felony counts of illegal distribution of prescription controlled substances, following a seven-day trial.”
An mind-boggling number. If he was in practice 40 years, that would amount to more than 170 prescriptions per day.

The article says 2.5 million doses, not actually 2.5 million prescriptions. So, if there were 100 pills per script, then, hey, it’s only 25,000 prescriptions.
Yeah, dude’s still out of control either way.
There were 30 to 60 pills depending on the script. I was on the jury. Definitely out of control!
