When are Doctors in Hollywood going to get the message?

[tzs]

How many more celebs who have money to throw away on are going to die this year because of prescription drugs??? Also, what about the Hippocratic Oath all doctors should adhere to???

 If you are a doctor who habitually prescribe drugs to a patient, reguardless of their past medical history, also knowing that there is a contraindiction with these drugs, which posses a clear and immediate threat to that patients life (especially if they are a recovering addict), then you should be thrown in jail, and your license to practice should be revoked (permanently). I don't care how much money any celeb throws at you, enabling someones addiction is not worth getting a couple of hush-hush-thousans in your bank, and a dead body in a hotel bathroom.  These doctors are not stupid or nieve, they just want to get paid at any cost, which is lame! Get a grip!

What can they do if the patient gets a Vicodin prescription from one doctor, and hydrocodone from another doctor and so on?

Maybe if they go after Whitney Houstons doctors they will finally get the picture about giving them medications.

Have you seen Dolly Parton lately? She looks more like a nightmare than a hot older lady who got work done.

It has been going on for a while.  Elvis probably wasn't the first, but a big name from 35 or so years ago who died from his doctor's overzealous use of perscriptions.  Celebrities need to have better friends around them who have positive influences over their personal decisions.
