Its Mr. Perfect here. How did you go through your life, especially in your teen and early 20 years without doing something stupid?
Its easy to say "you made the decision to use the drugs". But how many mistakes did you make when you were younger? If it was just that simple then there would be a lot less addicts, a lot less alcoholics, smokers, etc, etc..

It's a story because of what the father did. If a black father did a similar takedown, it would be a huge story too.
This. While racism still exists classism is a bigger issue.
The better question would be I wonder how many people would give a shite about this story if Danny wasn't a middle class kid who's father was a respected pharmacist in the community.

The interest in the story is because of the actions of Dan Sr, not because Danny was white and not because Dan Sr was a middle class pharmacist. Not many people would care about the story if you take away Dan Sr's crusade and it's just a story about a rich white killed who is killed over drugs

Go check out the TV show Snowfall, it's based on the time crack cocaine started showing up.

I think part of what was left out was that CMS rolled out a campaign calling pain the fifth vital sign. I remember going to trainings stating that pain was whatever the patient said it was. That you were not doing your job as a provider if you were not treating pain.
Now CMS has taken it a step further and tied reimbursements to patient satisfaction. A patient can show up to the ER saying he is allergic to everything but Dilaudid. If he is told to kick rocks, he can trash the hospital on the survey. This has a direct effect on the hospital’s reimbursement rate.
The government has some ownership in this problem as well.

"Never undertreat pain."
Has been said in every medical school in America.

Is this a docudrama?
Posted on 2/10/20 at 10:17 pm to Reservoir dawg
No... 4 episode documentary... it has some reenactments, but all the dialogue is first person accounts.
The fact the dad had recordings of so many encounters is pretty amazing... adds a ton to the story.

I just finished it. WOW, is all I can say.
I started it last night. Gave me nightmares about my own mother, who has struggled with an opioid addiction since I was very young. It has taken me years and years of therapy to overcome the things my brother and I experienced and saw. My own mother, who I still love dearly, went from being my hero and the smartest, most beautiful woman I knew, to an addict who couldn’t stay out of rehab or jail for years.
Opioids make me sick and are literally a monster that haunt my dreams. Opioids stole my childhood via taking away my mother, my best friend. And she wasn’t a “junkie”. My mom—a beautiful, intelligent, sweet and very successful business person. Further, I met several “famous” people at her rehabs. Opioid addiction doesn’t discriminate, it loves to destroy people from all walks of life.
This was the most powerful documentary I’ve ever seen.

One of my favorite things that I've learned since watching it is that, before Dr. Cleggett decided to be a drug dealer she first spent time as a contractor for Gulf South Medical Consultants, where she specialized in soft tissue exams for personal injury clients. 
If that isn't an indictment of the current corrupt, amoral state of personal injury in Louisiana and America I don't know what is.

Just finished the the doc, it was lit. But like the kid's mom, wtf happened to Cleggett? She looked really cute in y2k now got all sloppy and looks like a stroke victim.
Crazy how she was raking in the cash but living ghetto inside her house.
1995 Cleggett CEMST

Just finished. Solid documentary, unreal that Cleggett didn't serve any time. Apparently she lives in EBR now.

Brings back serious memories.
I was a patient in the 00's of Dr. John Smart. Global pain in Metairie. (office raided in 2008 by DEA)
Anyone went to him?
The pharmacy was across town called "Pharmacy 101"
You had a separate room to count your pills.
It was insane!
ETA: the pharmacies around the clinic would not fill them. They were always "out"..they knew what was going on.

I’ve been working in retail pharmacies in Louisiana since 2000 and have seen this all unfold.
There is still a lot of work to do, but opiate prescribing habits have drastically improved over the past few years. Mr. Schneider definitely contributed to this movement and I appreciate him. The PMP is a great tool. Providers are required to check it every time, they aren’t allowed to look the other way.

Fairly certain it's on East St. Bernard Hwy between Chalmette and and violet.

Was Global the one on Houma Blvd by East Jeff. I went there a couple times. Went to another one further down vets, river side towards Kenner. Maybe Allied Pain Managment, or Sheers
