Hot or Not Doctors and Professionals in 11 States Charged in Historic Federal Opioid Sting

[King Mark]

Federal law enforcement and health officials held a press conference in Cincinnati to announce charges in the Appalachian Regional Prescription Opioid Strike Force takedown operation that began four months ago. Dozens of people were charged in the sting, including thirty-one doctors, seven pharmacists, and eight nurse practitioners, who are said to have taken part in 350,000 prescriptions and over 32 million pills distributed across 11 states.

Attorney General William P. Barr said in a statement, "The opioid epidemic is the deadliest drug crisis in American history, and Appalachia has suffered the consequences more than perhaps any other region. (oops, now it's a problem!) But the Department of Justice is doing its part to help end this crisis. One of the Department's most promising new initiatives is the Criminal Division's Appalachian Regional Prescription Opioid Strike Force (ARPO), which began its work in December."

Among those charges are a Dayton, Ohio pharmacy that prescribed over 1.75 million opioid pills between October 2015 and October 2017 and a Tennessee doctor that allegedly prescribed approximately 4.2 million opioid pills.

A Tennessee nurse practitioner named Jeffrey Young who called himself 'Rock Doc' and once piloted a reality show about his Jackson clinic was also arrested. Young, 43, is accused of prescribing about 1.4 million addictive pills and 1,500 fentanyl patches over a span of about three years. The indictment also states that Young accepted sex or "notoriety" for his "Rock Doc" brand as payment for the drugs.

Ladies and gentlemen, meet rock doc:

nobody pops pills like americans...nobody...americans take the first 5 places...I am not exaggerating the extent of the consumption in any way to fit my troll agenda I am actually watering it down LOL...during my time as a steroid supplier, 1 out of 1000 recreational drug requests came from non americans...oxy/hydro codone, bromas, valiums...I know what this shit did to my mother for the brief period she was on this so I never replied to a single email asking for it but if you want to become a supplier to the USA the market is insatiable...I do not think I could find a single oxy buyer in my entire country to save my life but I am confident that I could set up a distribution network in the USA within a few months...it takes no skill at all...

I'm glad they're making the effort to get that shit off the streets. Addiction is really destroying the fabric of society like nothing else I've ever seen.

Sad thing is, getting this shit off the streets isn't going to make addicts go away. It'll just drive them to seek out heroin, meth, or whatever other hard street drugs they can find.

People hooked on heroin, desperate for more, are very dangerous people. They'll kick down your door and slit your throat for $10. They'll do anything to get money for their next hit, they seriously do not care. So get ready for a real-life zombie apocalypse of thousands these kinda people, if not tens of thousands.

Its a good thing you don't have guns, right? How would a zombie movie without guns turn out? You've never even considered such a thing. I bet it wouldn't turn out good for anyone not a zombie.
