If Your Doctor Drives The Following Cars, He Is Probably A Criminal
If your doctor drives any, and certainly all of the cars listed below, there is a virtually 100% certainty said doctor is a criminal...
... just like the above noted "Doctor" Xiulu Ruan, M.D., who is a doctor only by title: his real descrption is "legal" drug dealer, one who provides pain medication to drug addicted junkies for a (high) fee, and who is a favorite brand ambassador of such "legal' drug makers as Insys Therapeutics, maker of the Subsys 400 microgram Fentanyl anti-pain spray.
"Dr." Ruan, together with his business partner John Patrick Couch, M.D, were arrested earlier today on drug and fraud charges (full indictment pdf here) as part of an FBI and DEA raid of Physicians' Pain Specialists of Alabama Pain Center on Springhill Avenue and Airport Boulevard in Mobile. The practice, together with the adjacent pharmacy, C&R Pharmacy, was all part of a wildly profitably pain drug distribution ring.
The cars listed above, and which have now been confiscated by the state of Alabama, are what Ruan purchased with the spoils of fraudulently selling pain drugs to starved junkies, all under legal pretenses (the Pain Specialists website notes that on 4/18/2013, "Xiulu Ruan, MD, a fellowship trained physician, has broken his own world record of having 7 medical board/subspecialty board certifications."), and then padding his reimbursement demands from benefits programs.
Turns out Ruan's 7 'record' certifications were not enough and now he is assured of spending lenghty time in prison.
Why?
According to the charging document, Ruan and Couch, "conspired with each other and with others... to knowingly, willfully, and unlawfully distribute and dispense, and cause to be distributed and dispensed, Schedule II controlled substances including but not limited to: Oxycodone, Oxymorphone, Hydromorphone, Morphine, Fenantul, and Methadone, outside the usual course of professional practice and not for a legitimate medial purpose."
But for a perfectly legitimate business purpose: to make "tons of money", by first getting patients hooked to pain medications, and then stuffing them full of near lethal doses of said drugs, all of which the "doctors" would then get reimbursement for, while making both themselves and the manufacturing company millions of dollars:
According to the Grand Jury charge, "the objective of the conspiracy was to unlawfully increase the amount of reimbursement received from healthcare benefits programs."
But that's just the tip of the iceberg.
The real crime in question lies not so much with "doctors" Ruan and Couch who were merely low-level drug distributors, but with drug manufacturing and wholesale companies, particularly such as the abovementioned Insys makes of Subsys, which is the topic of a recent investigative piece by the Boyd Roddy of the Southern Investigative Reporting Foundation titled "Insys Therapeutics and The New “Killing It."
This is what Roddy had to say about INSY, a $2 billion market cap company, whose story provides a good glimpse into just how biotech companies have shortcutted their way to blockbuster stardom in the last few years:
Insys Therapeutics is doing pretty darn well. The company has had a remarkable level of financial success and its soaring stock price has made it a darling on Wall Street.
But that level of growth ought to warrant a raised eyebrow; going to over $222 million sales from about $15.5 million in just two years without inventing something like a better search engine is no mean feat. Fentanyl, after all, has been around for many years and while Subsys is the only spray version available, several of Insys’s competitors are well-established and better capitalized, with sales forces that reach all 50 states.
While details on the particulars of the breakthrough pain medication market are hard to find, or at least details that aren't self-serving management estimates, veteran sales staff from Insys and other pharmaceutical companies put its growth prospects at roughly 10% a year. If that's true, and the company is selling to oncologists then growth possibilities for Insys should be a function of that plus whatever they can take away from its larger competitors. Many companies would be happy for those odds.
But Insys grew north of 100%, implying that whatever organic growth they are getting is being aided by a whole lot of doctors who have grown profoundly fond of an expensive drug that brings an acre of governmental red-tape with it and that one of the largest pharmacy benefit managers will no longer touch.
The question then becomes "How?" and "Why?"
A SIRF investigation into Insys reveals that this growth has come at a remarkable price: Food and Drug Administration data shows that Subsys is proving lethal to a growing number of patients, many of whom, like Carolyn Markland, are taking it for so-called off-label indications, such as headaches and back pain.
For more answers of what really takes place every day in the corrupt underbelly of America's healthcare industry, the linked 4,100-word piece is a must read for anyone with even a passing interest in not only said industry, but for a spoiler alert, one need to only look at this table of the highest reimbursed doctors doctors for the 2013-2014 period under TRICARE, the U.S. military’s primary health insurance plan, one which represents 9.5 million people or 3% of the US population.

So, here's to you, Doctor Charlatan Xiulu Ruan: we hope prescribing millions in overpriced, potentially deadly pain medication to US army vets was worth it, and that the 13 sports cars you purchased on their hurting backs will either keep you warm at night, and keeps Bubba away during those long nights at the Talladega Federal Correctional Institution.

I hope he kept a couple pain pills handy. He's going to need them after the first few nights in the "Slammer".
Some Preparation H will come in handy too.
the real criminals here are the DEA.
in a free society, people do not tell other people what they may or may not ingest into their own bodies.

A little over a century ago a five-year old could buy drugs that are currently banned by the Nazi Imperial Federal Government. As long as he had the money.
What's wrong with the idiot public?
You answered your question....
Amateurs.. Wannabe’s.. Not a Veyron in the bunch.
Who gave the government to power to force us to get a prescription to buy any drug? Certainly the Federal government has no such power.
I have asked the same question many times. I can plainly see the amendment to the constitution that prohibited the manufacture, sale or transportation of alcohol, as well as its repeal. I have as of yet been unable to locate a similar amendment banning the sale of so called drugs. Seems to me that drugs are perfectly lawful.
gee.. that whole "Congress shall make no laws" thing does not seem to apply anymoar..
like the rest of the Constitution.
The government, having a monopoly on the use of force, has given itself the right to conspire with the AMA to give said AMA a monopoly in providing medical care in this country. They defend this monopoly almost as vigorously as they defend their monopoly on the use of force and if you contest either of these monopolies they will stick a gun in your face to convince you that they have the right.
This same 'government' is forcing you/me/us/everyone to sign on for O-care (or an O-care 'compliant' plan), with the promise that 'If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor'.
WELL, I am starting to LIKE Dr. Ruan. Sounds like he knows how to game the system from both ends. Of course; now, HIS end is gonna be a 'game' for the 'system', I suppose.
I was just looking at properties in Mobile, AL. DAMN.
Lots of troops on the outside are gonna be mighty angry...
An addict is an addict and the government can't change that. All they can do is tax and spend and get bigger to "fight" addicts that they cannot change, at the expense of our money and our freedom. The only addicts that don't go to jail are the ones who are so afraid of jail that they resort to the worst drug of all - alcohol.
FFS, Wake up folks, people aren't buying that dope from the Dr.s, they're buying the Dr's note, as it is legally required to keep that fuckin job, now that we have agreed to be presumed guilty upon arrival to work, and must prove our innocence.
It's a shame there isn't a harmless plant they could smoke or ingest that isn't filled with opiates and addictive as hell, and is impossible to OD on. Oh, wait, such a plant exists? Nevermind, it's a schedule 1 narcotic. This is the governments fault, like most societal problems. They do the bidding of their big pharma lobbyists. And also for sending so many to get fucked up in pointless, endless wars.
That is not a panacea..at least not for old dudes. Several years ago, met up with a gurl and she was into the lifestyle. She was maybe trying to impress me by giving me the best she had. Hadn't smoked in 20 years and then was just a few times. I figured it was the same so took some big ass inhales and didn't feel a thing, so took another. About 5 minutes later, I was practically dead on her front lawn looking up at the sky. I stayed there and begged for an ambulance to come so I could die in a hospital. 4 hours later, I came out of it and could move but barely walk. Chalk that up to an old dude trying to do new things. If you are young and grow up with whatever that was then fine. If you are old, stay the F away unless you don't want to be old anymore, quickly.
So, let me understand this correctly.
You hooked up with a shemale (a 'gurl', in the parlance), and decided that you had better get really stoned, because you knew what you were about to do. He/she slipped you a 'Mickey Finn' (they call it a 'Rufie', now, but I don't know why, unless it has something to do with the state of mind that 'puts you on the roof') , and you freaked out. Could have been dust, could have been Opiated Thai, could have been whatever. When she showed you her equipment, you ran out, screaming, and got as far as the lawn before you passed out from guilt and shame.
'...big ass inhales'...
It's called a 'HIT', you twit. You should'a QUIT. NEXT TIME, just go to a gay bar, and stop whining about your sexual preferences to the ZH people.
You are under the misguided and erroneous assumption that the 'government' as it exists is NOT ACTIVELY taking part in the forced addiction of the masses to itself (or any so-called 'illegal substance'). I don't suppose you've heard of the C.I.A., or a place named Mina, Arkansas, or a group of pilots named 'Air America', or Evergreen Aviation, or Welfare, or Food Stamps, or A.F.D.C., or 'Social Security', or...
NAW.
I'm gonna sit here, and drink a Budwieser, and light up a Marlboro, and ruminate over your, ahem, 'wise statement'.
I suppose that you think that those 535 script-readers and rubber-stampers in D.C. actually WRITE the legislation that they vote on. TELL US ALL: WHO is ACTUALLY the 'government'?
OOOOOH! 'The worst drug of all - alcohol'!!!
Take a Prozac and go back to your masters.
A JOKE:
Q: You and your good buddy (who happens to be Mormon) like to fish. You ask him to come with you one day, and bring a twelve-pack along. What is the best way to keep your Mormon buddy from drinking all your beer?
A: Invite another Mormon to go with you.

"not for a legitimate medial purpose"
Clap, clap, clap. Yeah right, like Chemo drugs?
Chemo drugs actually "kill" 80% of those who take them, and the "doctors" make tens of thousands more than pain meds.
What a fucking joke article.
It should all be legal, "not schedule II".
You can't stop the extrreme addict.
If he is only a harm to himself, and not others, let him decide, not the Federal Government.
If a woman has a right to choose an abortion, and homosexual's should have the right to marry, then why o why doesn't an addict have the right to kill themselves with their drug of choice?
You would think in this case the "other" drug cartel, currently not south of the border, was making its filthy lucre legitimately.
I thought the whole purpose of Obamacare was to deliver you to the tender mercies of the medical establishment and stuff you full of legal drugs until all you good do was sit in front of the TV and drool all day while being brainwashed with patriotic programs about how the FED and Obama were saving the country from ISIS.
It's a sad day in America when a legitimate drug cartel can't make an honest US Hegemonic Dollar off all the shattered bodies and minds of our returning domestic extremists, formally called gun loving veterans.
Citation needed on that chemo.
I agree on the legality thing though ... remove the profit motives for drugs and let it work itself out and don't make it near impossible for people dying in agonizing pain to get some fucking morphine derivatives.
Don't know about the death rate but doctors make big bucks off chemo commissions.

I won't argue the freedon point, until somebody sends me the bill for them persuing their happiness.
These scamming "doctors" are looting the system that WE all pay for. You like helping these vermin buy sports cars?
As a US-born, US-trained medical specialist (who left the US system in general disgust), I'll just toss this out there:
90%+ of American MDs are intelligent, ethical, hard-working guys and gals, though subject to the enticements and rewards offered by The Cartel. 5% or fewer are sleezy law-breakers, motivated by money. And 5% are borderline.
Just my humble opinion, based on 20+ years working in large US community hospitals.
Out of curiosity, I would like to see..

b) What is their 'Country of Origin'

Does your doctor driving a Chevy PU mean he sucks?
My doctor drives an F150. He's cool.
My doctor doesn't drive amymore since he got Alzheimers. he can't remember where he parked it!
Since I haven't been to a doctor in a decade or more, I guess I'm my own best doctor.
I remember where I parked my car. MY issue is that I don't remember what kind of car it is! I have SO MANY DIFFERENT ONES (since I stopped giving doctors all my money) that I seriously suffer from memory lapses in this regard.
847328_3527, do you know the kind of turmoil I'm experencing here? No, of course not. You're JUST A NUMBER...
Driving Chevy pickups can lead to side effects, like oil spots on the driveway, coolant leaks, transmission failure, and strange noises from the rear of the vehicle. Some of these side effects are minor, and some can be catastrophic.
ALWAYS CONSULT WITH A DOCTOR BEFORE DRIVING A CHEVY PICKUP.

It is okay when the US Military aerosolizes Fentanyl and sprays it over observers, outside of the Restricted Area, at Freedom Ridge which overlooks Area 51 in Nevada. That is not an "illegal distribution". Right?
(Of course Freedom Ridge was soon incorporated ino Area 51 afterwards, courtesy of the BLM.)
But the true point is that these Doctors did not pay the bribes to the authorities at the DEA.
You either pay the DEA Agents off or you stay at the Grey Hotel for an extended period.
(I can bring up other documented incidents of the CIA or US Military dosing the American population with drugs. Let's play the Iran Contra Ollie North Drug Smuggling Crack Cocaine scheme as a starter for example. Fuck the US Military, the largest Drug Pushers of them all. Fuck the NSA.)
Remember that Moscow Theater siege?
Russian special forces pumped aerosolized Fentanyl through the HVAC and killed everyone.
Nasty stuff. Dosed in micrograms.

I didn't remember that, so I looked it up. They didn't kill everyone ... 130 out of 850, seems a decent result.
Bit of a strange story though, the terrorists probably saved a lot of the hostages by ordering them to lean forward in their chairs (don't want to go unconscious on your back, you'll choke on your own tongue).

but if you go to those doctors like wild bill use to say, "i feel your pain", and here's a little something to take the edge-off.
mebbe someday congress and some bankerz might get a similar poctoscopy?
Absolutely no mention in the article about what patients with chronic and near unbearable pain are supposed to do. Plenty of the pain sufferers got injured on their job, many with spinal injuries. Some are recovering from car accidents. These pain pills and sprays can be life threatening but much less so than the methamphetamine that the Sinaloa drug cartel smuggles into the USA with the help of their DEA handlers. These doctors' real crime is not cutting the DEA and the police in on their take from peddling pain medications. As we know, the DEA will do anything to make money, from stealing cash from travelers to arresting and beating to a pulp indepedent criminal drug dealers (getting rid of their competition) to providing security for narco lords' drug shipments.
Meth is the answer to lack of dental insurance.
Who are the wealthy customers funding all those toys would be much more interesting.
normal ppl who like drugs
The article said most of the patients were vets, so you and me are paying for it.
I don't believe that bullshit. I guess 50% of the execs are all on dope.

Sadly it's people like this that make it a bitch for people in real chronic pain who do need daily pain meds to get them.
when you say "people like this", i'm assuming you're talking about the DEA and assorted government bureaucrats that feel that you are their property and they have a right to tell you what meds you can take.
people need to stop believing in the myth that government has any legitimacy.
And the scandal is their price. Look into how inexpensive opiates are to produce as opposed to how much they cost.
Yep. There is NO WAY any of that shit would be even 1% of the price, but then fucking doctors would be out of a high paying job, so they cry wolf and claim they need to control it all.
But luckily, these doctors all swear their hypocritic oath, so we are supposed to believe that it is IMPOSSIBLE therefore for them to do anything but just help us out of the goodness of their hearts and infinite corporate-backed wisdom.
The expensive sports cars and bimbos are just the fruit of good karma, sir!
If your banker drives one of these cars, don't question him because he is legit.
Probably True - the big boys have drivers. Maybe their kids have them though
And remember! If your Dr. drives a finger up your ass at every visit, it's 100% likely he's queer.
Another tip> If your banker drives his finger up your ass, he's a fuckin liar, and that ain't his finger.

FX traders eagerly awaiting Exotic automobiles for pennies on the dollar (same rate they got on their FX rigging fines).
the shame of all this is that for most people who have significant pain after surgery or trauma - tylenol given with advil would do the trick.
But doctors are so terrified of tylenol's affect on the liver, they prescribe something that carries significant danger of addiction.
But most healthy people could deal with the recommended doze of tylenol for a few days or week, just need to not drink. And the motrin can be low dose - there's a synergistic effect, very very effective for pain.
At root of course, the real problem is that generic ibuprofen and acetominophen cost pennies per dose. And they don't send around big titted 24 year old pharma reps that know even less about pharmacology than the average family practitioner....
Opiates cost pennies per dose as well but that's not what YOU pay for them.
true - point is, people could go out and get generic over the counters. cheaper to buy, and probably more effective and safer if you exclude people with liver/alcohol issues.
If you get generic hydro/oxy, you are paying pretty honest prices. Last script I got was ~$4 bucks I think at preferred pricing.
I would think that is pretty fair.
Sure you can get reamed if you don't buy generic, but you also can tell your doctor generic only.
And they aren't really making any new dope. Last I saw was a morphine that was granulated with an enteric coating (to avoid abuse).
But you can say give me the cheap stuff.
pods
You can grow them in your office flower pot...
You are forgetting Rick Simpson Oil, which has all that crap beat and can be made at home...
huh?
pain meds, not purported anti-cancer meds. I say purported because while cannabinoids, etc show promise, even a lot of pomise, its not a magic bullet.
I will respectfully disagree with your assessment of pain management, from personal experience.
Speaking of pharmacology, why would a doctor prescribe an APAP tablet (Tylenol with a known addictive drug) if they were worried about your liver?
pods
Everyone's different, of course, but for most people for a short term acute pain, to be more specific, the synergistic effect of generic tylenol/motrin is both very effective and probably a safer way to go than throwing in an opiate.
Chronic and/or diffuse pain might be different. For all I know, location of pain, too.
So for say, whiplash in a car accident, I think most people would be fine. But I defer, of course, to personal experience.
Great point re apap... tylenol isnt something anyone should be taking for a long time.
p.s. not a doctor or pharma, just personal experience and some research in grad school.
Well opiates are over prescribed, and since they come from a guy in a white coat, people see it as "medicine" and not dope. That is where a lot of the problems come from.
But all it really is is dope. Sometimes even worse. The more refined you get with alkaloids, the worse it becomes.
Opium has lots of different active alkaloids. Who's to say that some do not counteract the impact that the others make?
But we see a large concentration of one molecule and think that is the only or best one. Then when problems come about, we tinker with the molecule.
So instead of the slurry of possibles made in a tea, we get a refined one that opens the dopamine floodgates.
Sucks cause if people actually grew them in their yards, and were familiar with WHAT they actually are, things might not be so bad.
But now it's legal dope, with no needle.

i had some pretty hard core pain for a couple of months over 2 major surgerys i had all kinds of prescription pain meds, but all they did was numb you a bit, make it where you couldn't sleep, and constipate you horribly.
ibuprofen was way,way,way better at killing the pain and didn't cause the horrible constipation.
Pods, spot on. I think they call it "culling the herd".
I doubt they are scared of the effect of tylenol on the liver ... I think they are scared their patients are morons who will combine a high dosis of tylenol with alcohol.
The margins of error with tylenol are very small for an over the counter drug, which isn't really the perception of the general population which makes it dangerous.
very good point, I think you're right.
Sorry, but Tylenol ain't gonna touch the pain from having your gall bladder removed with a cauterizer (Thank Heaven for Dilaudid!)

Any Jews on that list?
Selective harassment.
I don't see Rockefeller listed as an accessery... What, no arrest warrant for the KingPin?... same as always.
My doctor drives a Porsche Panamera. He's definitely a criminal muthafucka.
Wasnt that rush Limbaugh's doctor?
I think he had one for the pain meds and one for the viagra.
He will be given lots of suppositories for free where he is headed, also he never learnt that the gov. does not like competition, and also needs all the cash it can get it's hands on.
The good doctor was taken for a ride: BMW M car VIN will start with WBS..., not WBA. His was likely a rebadged 618i.
Well, I hope Tyler central keeps an eye on this since I sincerely doubt any of these boys see prison time.
More like time served, (the amount of time they spent in jail before getting bailed out), and loss of their license in Alabama. Of course that doesn't preclude them from heading to another state to practice,....ahem, cough, medicine.
Don't forget, the AMA is a big club, but the majority of the population ain't in it.
Look, if they won't even charge a doctor criminally for killing someone on the surgical table, then do you think dealing prescription pain pills is enough to send them to prison?
But, these boys are goners if they failed to pay taxes on any of their ill gotten booty.
Ironic that doctors are sick people, non?
yes ironic.
except that there aren't any people currently living on this planet who are not sick in some way.
who the fuck cares what kind of car Doctors drive.
90% of the docs under 60 years old are fucking asshole idiots that practice CYA medicine and couldn't "diagnose" their way out of a paper bag.
Even if the "diagnosis" was WRITTEN on the paper bag.
If the doctors were doing that much volume, then a lot of these pain patients are going to go without medicaton, and there is going to be a lot of suicides. That is the part of the war on durgs that isn't talked about. The DEA blabs on and on about how Dr. Hurwitz had three patients die under his care, but ten died after he was put away in jail.
And Tyler you have to quit with putting the doctors on the cover and then say the real problem was with the pharmacy okay? Thery were the HUGE problem and the doctors, while guilty, were bit players.
Do you know how much 30 doses of the 1600 mcg Fentanlyl costs that this drug company puts out? $13,000!!!! And one dose lasts 4 hours!!!!
And Fentanyl is a generic drug. All that is patented is the method of delivery so in patch form, fentanyl is $400 per month, but in sucker or in this case, sublingual form, it is thousands of dollars per month.
And who allows the crazy pricing crap to happen? The same U.S. government arresting these doctors for prescription fruad when the real fraud is pharmacy companies charging prices that no one in their right mind would ever pay. The drug patenting system is a fraud as is the war on drugs.
And when anesthesiologists do drugs, they don't go for morhpine, demerol, or dilaudid, they go for fentanyl because it is the best opioid high there is. 9 out of 10 anesthesiologists prefer getting high with fentanyl.
You can get a month's worth of hydrocodone, oxycodone, or hydromorphone for less than $100 per month. Then you get into the long term "tamper prooof" (HA HA) patented versions of those same drugs like Oxycontin, Opana, and Zohydro and the price goes up to $1000+.
So you are right. Doctors driving an Aston Martin or Ferrari should be suspected of fraud, but the CEOs of pharma companies, who take old drugs and put them in new packages and get patents on them. will be driving those cars too. The difference is their fraud is LEGAL!!!
Oh no = Who should I call?
A Filipino psychic healer.
What scumbags, engaging in voluntary exchange, disobeying an arbitrary law...hope they are drawn and quartered.
Look pal, if you want to print things out of thin air, you joined the wrong cartel.
"legal" drug dealer
So tell me, is he a bar owner or a pharmacist?
I'm opposed to both drug laws and any law that allows asset confiscation before conviction. Put me on the jury and my vote is "not guilty."
Do not get me started about doctors.
In few words, in US and unfortunately in some other countries, physicians’ true professional objective and purpose of education, even if they deny it, is to seriously to moderately injure their heavily insured patients to the degree that would still allow them to cover exuberant fees and enormous drug costs, through private insurance or government or desperate family selling all they got.
Dying poor are left in pain to die, thrown out on the street pavements like dogs according to doctors Hypocritical not Hippocratic oath as it was well documented in LA Skid Row few years ago.
Additionally these parasitic doctors lie to their rich patients about diagnosis, making it potentially worse, just to make experiments on humans to patent the procedure or push another useless drug. Those heavily insured patients are purposefully misdiagnosed with certain diseases such as cancer and offer surgical removal of whole organs, breasts, uterus, ovaries etc., just to make money.
Even worn out Hollywood starlets undergo televised self mutilation for commercial propaganda purposes to insidiously entice millions of potential victims of medical crimes to be maimed or disfigured without any shred of evidence of any disease. The transplantation industry is even worse, dealing with body parts obtained through mutilation or murder of poor and abandoned children of the streets or prisoners all over the world.
Unnecessary, painful testing which amounts to torture, highly addictive drug regiments are common examples of abuse of young and elderly unaware of the purpose of the procedures and often done against published research results condemning such tests, therapies or drugs as extremely harmful.
It’s that simple. Most doctors want you to be sick so he/she could suck up blood from you and your family. And after you dead they want your body and sold for profit.
Cheap preventive medicine, with 95% success rate of early intervention is practically abandoned since there is no money in it. Entire commercial food industry and tobacco conspire with medical establishment, hospitals and insurance companies to destroy health of a nation. To make you sick. Such act would amount to treason during cold war years.
Few doctors who focus of homeostatic physiological balance of human organism and developed successful therapies which restore the balance no matter what disease they are dealing with are persecuted, threaten with jail and revoking medical license.
However, this deceitful practice that doctors are engaged in, playing on people fear of pain, suffering and death by giving them false hope is not new.
Philosophers Kant and Voltaire in XVIII century being of very fragile health as children vow to stay away from doctors of their time and cured themselves using their own remedies in many occasions of serious diseases and live over 80, a quarter century longer then average people lifespan back then. What did they know?
We have to demand preventive medicine all the way. The best cure is prevention. First of all we should demand that we consume real food and not the poisonous shit that is being sold in supermarkets, we should insist to break up vertically integrated food cartels that aim to continuously make us sick. But there is more that needs to be changed, namely brutal system of legal slavery and exploitation run by oligarchs since it is number one source of oppression and physically devastating stress that is killing us.
Ruan is a wingnut from China. Retrained in AnnArbor, Michigan. That's how all the boat trash gets through, no offense to Boat Trash meant.
Couch has a very reasonable pedigree, did his Anesthesia in Tampa- good program. Looks like some secondary certifications in addiction medicine.
Published some reasonable stuff in the med literature and he's 20 years out.
If his charting's in order, he should walk. Looks like a DEA witch hunt and the author of this screed is a moron.
