Book excerpt: When a doctor betrays the trust of his patients, does the law hold them responsible?When a patient goes to their doctor, there is an almost automatic trust that has been built into a persons' thinking since childhood that their doctor spent years, learning and studying, how to help people. But what if that trust is broken? What if the doctor thinks not of the patient first, but of only his or her greed, coupled with possible addictions we usually only see in the worst of the inner-cities of America? This book clearly identifies a direct correlation between doctor's questionable conduct and/or illegal administrating, dispensing, and prescribing of opioids, and the pharmaceutical opioid epidemic that has been directly impacted by these actions.
