Tale of the Dog That Bit You
Nov
08
A story from KTLA-Los Angeles and WCDefenseCA about a law enforcement sting of an infamous clinic, revealed several odd protocols:
- Receptionist expects a $50 cash tip;
- The physician provides a menu of narcotics from which to choose;
- “How about some Valium, Xanax, Vicodin, Oxycodone…What were you looking for?” asks the MD;
- On the street, the provider is known as the “Go to Doctor”;
- Actual exams and taking of vitals is optional.
Oh, I almost forgot. The physician overlooked the tail in the dog x-ray that the undercover deputy provided as proof of injury! “Oh yeah, I can see why you’re in pain,” the physician is purported to have said.
