Was it really worth it Dr. Mukherjee?

During the investigation, undercover officers saw long lines of people, some from other states, waiting to get into Mukherjee’s office on Professional Drive in Flint Township to get prescriptions for powerful pain killers.

The prospective patients paid doctor’s office employees to move up on the waiting list to see the doctor. Two undercover officers and the confidential informant were given prescriptions of Vicodin, cough syrup with codeine, a morphine-type drug and other controlled prescription drugs on multiple occasions.

A detective testifying about her dealing with Mukherjee said that she was never examined by the doctor. He typically charged $45 for the first prescription and $90 for a second, postdated prescription, while his employees charged fees of $20, $50 and $60 to people who wanted to get in to see him.
