Doctors DO get prosecuted criminally for good-faith prescription of opiates.

All that being said, I don’t know anything about this Florida doc.

Weitzel got covered on “60 Minutes” Ed Bradley interviewed the “nurse/attorney” who prosecuted the case.

Nurse/attorney is always a dangerous combination. A little bit of medical knowledge and the law degree to do a lot of damage.

See her on “60 Minutes” telling Ed Bradley that old people don’t feel pain like younger people do. That old people don’t need pain medicines for this reason, and therefore, the only reason Weitzel could have for prescribing pain medicine for elderly patients was to kill them like Jack Kevorkian.

So……doctors DO get prosecuted unjustly for good-faith opiate prescription.
