A doctor has been charged with federal offences for illegally distributing opioids. He was in charge of his own practice, and had not been investigated thoroughly enough for people to catch this earlier. His actions have caused harm to insurance companies, the administration, and all the patients he treated.

This article brings to the attention of readers the fact that this kind of behaviour happens far too often.
