The mission of this blog is to connect us back to the roots of medicine. It is about fighting back against those things that are taking us away from the direct care of patients while still pointing out the lunacy and hypocrisy of this job.

Cheers to the Pill Mill Arrests
Twenty-two people, including pharmacists and doctors, were arrested in Florida recently in an operation by federal and local authorities to shut down the "pill mill" pain clinics, prescription forgery rings and illegal online pharmacies. Finally. So far there have been 118 arrests, seizures of more than $19 million in assets and the closure of at least 40 Florida pain clinics. It is about time. Now let's forget about the increased mandates for doctor education about narcotics and just continue to smoke out these lowlifes. Cheers to a rare government action that has gone right.
