USA: Doctors held in pill mill raid

This item was filled under [ General, USA ]

tampabay.com on December 13, 2011 reported that a sign in the clinic waiting room said no children allowed. Another said new appointments cost $300. Cash only. Still another warned patients to avoid certain pharmacies that were using a new database to "flag" prescriptions for narcotics. All these served as red flags to Pasco sheriff's deputies, who raided the Harbour Medical Group on Tuesday and arrested three staff members, including Dr. William Crumbley, a Tampa doctor whose license was suspended in October for writing excessive prescriptions for powerful painkillers that may have contributed to a patient's death.
