I said a day ago i was gonna talk about something shocking. I'm in no ways gonna break my word..and defently not on this. This is personal...it happened to someone in my faimly   and its a story like this that shouldn't go ignored because it could happen to you.

This family relative..went to a pain clinic to deal with his pain. Went to this doctor for months...then the next thing you know this person had another appointment scheduled where they needed this doctor to fill another prescription only to find out you get no answer on the phone..and you even learn this person's voice mail is full. Not a good sign at all.  However the reason he couldn't see his doctor wasn't because the doctor has a family emergency or anything you would think to be in the tragic category.

No..this person was caught with medicad fraud! Let me repeat that...medicad fraud! I just learned about this last Thursday/Friday.
I was in shock. This is a person you put trust in to take care of your medical problems only to learn of them scamming people and the US government out of millions of dollars. I'm not sure if he was ever caught. I hope the law puts this guy where he belongs..behind bars to serve his time.

I still ask.. why did he do it? Why did he take advantage of patients like this?

I may never know the main reason but heres the story for  you to make your own opinion of it.

This isn't made up..this is real life.

Now after reading this story..just imagine how you would feel knowing someone or even yourself going to this kind of doctor only to learn that this is what they did behind the scenes.


It makes you wonder if they ever thought about your health to begin with doesn't it. But more importantly stories like this shouldn't go ignored. Because tomorrow it could your community, your doctor(s) that pull this kind of stunt. I hope not but stuff like this you don't even think about untill there caught.

Tommrow i'll have something better to post about but for today i just needed to get this off my chest.

Anyways thats why i wanted to post this blog. Please feel free to leave your comments and let me know what you think about these dirt bags. Thank you. :(

Re: Fraud like this shouldn't be ignored
What sort of medical fraud? It could be anything from helping out patients who don't have insurance or slipping extra pills.

Re: Fraud like this shouldn't be ignored
I linked a story that explained it..well what it basically is.
This doctor was running a "pill mill". He was in a ways double billing the government with people on the Medicaid program. Like I was saying a scam. My family relative is on the Medicaid program so its not easy for people on Medicaid to find a doctor. Because of this stunt there are many patients screwed in finding a doctor since the DEA confiscated medical files of patients. My relative was lucky only because he had some back up information from other doctors he goes to see.

Still this whole thing is inexcusable and it makes me sick to know doctors take advantage of people like this.
Doctors are people that you trust with your life. Not to be scammed from them.
