enraged... ugggg

hi you won't believe the call I just got. My girlfriend of 25 years called me bawling(she knew Chris and went to his funeral) her 21 year old nephew od'd on vicodin. Man oh man. You all know me I have been studying up on this issue ever since I found out this was a problem in our family. Now if u could look at the charts and see the rise in the last 20 yrs in prescription drug abuse you would be HORRIFIED.I am as soon as I find it to copy I will show u what I mean. Now what really concerns me is that this country seems to not be talking about it. I mean if this rise was in any other area something would be done.Thought maybe cause ppl who have relatives who die from it by od'ing or whatever are soo sad they just GLOSS over the reason why their child/friend /husband etc died? I have never been one to mince words and never thought it would be considered taboo to say why someone died even if it didn't sound so good.But am finding out many hide the reasones for other relatives or to keep the perfact facade they have kept of their family. Since the birth of oxycontin kids have started young they snort it(which makes the full effect of this time released drug come out) so these kids start by snortin pretty high doses and they have NO IDEA of what they have gotten themselves into. PPL think heroin is bad they have no idea what the hush hush of hiding it from others is doing to the kids now. Kids get hooked after a few weeks and it is not a pretty site once someone has gotten hooked for a couple years then runs outta money then dr. shops, and even go so far as to forge scripts. then of course the birth of GRRRR online internet quack doctors. I have gotten 4 calls on my bros cell from dr.'s who are saying is chris there I say no can I take a message? they say well he hasn't gotten any refills lately and I want to make sure he's okay. Okay the first one my mom got she then after his spiel told him ^%%$$^%$. can't repeat he just said sorry and hung up/ have gotten 3 more calls from internet dr.'s one from a ridiculously pushy person from a site called U.S. medical .... then theres the crooked dr.'s who just seem to have a dr. office front for their prescription writing biz...Now Stanford university did an amzing thing. A few months back, the docs ,residents ,interns etc anyone on staff are not to take 1 stitch of kickbacks from pharmaceutical companies. No more free meds, lunches as they always say for their STAFF LOl, and those suites and free food at the best games in town as a perk for listening to the pharmacy co's spiel.... gone like the wind... well I am enraged and wanna tear these ppls heads off but me thinx its not a very good tool to get em to listen LOL Just venting here... hey Jackie ems mom... what does Ed think about all this? I hate the fact the pharmaceutical co's are trying to get an internal medicine dr. to prescribe strong antipsychotic drugs? that seems wrong and all the docs I have known won't ever prescribe something that is beyond their field of knowledge. Ya know just cause u can write a script doesn't necessarily mean you shouldn't let another person in that specialty write it who has more knowledge than you. One of the scripts I found in my bros that was the ladies who found him and I don't even wanna go there about her,had a docs name thinking its the xanax that killed him with her name and docs name on it. Well look up the doc and he has 2 major infractions against him. Then look up our docs all of em not a single infraction ever. pretty amazing. And this doc got his license from some weird medical school. and his front of an office is INTERNAL Medicine... but underneath that it says uggg
botox, laser surgery etc comsmetic stuff. How do I get this awful man in trouble? apparently this woman was getting a lotta scripts from him.My sis and I had our feelers out for this chic and found out from some old truly scandulous friends that she was the neighborhoods pharmaceutical dealer. in her 60's when the tox screen comes back I am almost certain it will show my bro was gone for almost 24 hrs or more and she just walked on by for a day... ugg scandulous purely utterly scandulous. Any ideas on where I can go with this? the police homicide robberey are back on the case after tox comes out if it shows he was gone before. plus a few other things I did not relay here.... believe me went to the detectives more than a few times with questions and thinx me have gotten em thinking cause they have been calling me with ?'s back recently. weird. gotta go hubbys being a baby...lol steff

You are very generous to call these people doctors who are calling Chris's cell checking on him.....I've NEVER had doctors calling me to see how my kids are.....these are bone-a-fide drug dealers working under an alleged doctor degree......I'd love to see you bring this to America Steff....it is quiet and hush hush.....families don't want to air their dirty laundry and thus the "dealers" are protected as a result.....

Very sad.....


I'd recommend passing on those "doctor's" numbers to an official of some sort....his cell phone probably has a bunch of "doctor's" listisngs.

I won't be surprised if I see you on 20/20 one of these days exposing the "secret" problem of America.....

You are still very much in my thoughts and I hope your family is healing.....

i will just not sure which person to send it to.... Don't wanna give the guy a heads up we're looking into him. any ideas anyone?

K, I have to say that many of Christopher's Doctors and sadly he has had lots YES they do call to just check up on him from time to time. But they are legit and very caring.

In answer to your question ~ "How do I get this awful man in trouble?"

Hmmm how bout the State Medical Ethics Committee or maybe calling 20/20, 60 min. or a show like that with the info and maybe they can get this info out and investigate at the same time.

Just a thought
