The appropriate response… the Medical Board needs to start yanking the licenses of these legal drug dealers when they fail in their gatekeeping responsibilities. Celebritard worship is no excuse.

You can’t practice ethical medicine if you don’t have what it takes to say “no”–whether to a scruffy gangster who is subtly threatening, or to a celebrity who has flattered you with their patronage.

The quality of a physician is not defined by the social class of his patients but by the quality of his work.
