I want to add that the parents of the patients of this doctor who have their children die from drug over doses while he was their treating and  prescribing doctor have a chance to take him to civil court where "standards of care"  ( basically a doctor treating a patient would you more or less expect other doctors to treat the case the same way) will play an important part of the proceedings. When I was on the medical lawsuit jury the plaintiff in this suit had expert doctors come from the state of MA to testify on the "standards of care"  in this lawsuit. This doctor had very impressive credentials. It was very interesting as  a juror to say the least.
