What would we do without immigrant doctors???
Not kill Matthew Perry for one thing.
An indictment filed in federal court on Wednesday detailed grand jury charges against Jasveen Sangha, who prosecutors said was known as “the Ketamine Queen,” and Dr. Salvador Plasencia, known as “Dr. P.” …
Dr. Plasencia, a physician at an urgent care center, was among those who worked to get the ketamine to Mr. Perry despite knowing he had a history of drug abuse.Court documents say that Mr. Perry’s personal assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, injected him with at least 27 shots of ketamine in the five days leading up to his death, including at least three on the day he died. ..
Dr. Mark Chavez, who admitted to selling ketamine to Dr. Plasencia, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine.

As the philosopher John Kay once wrote: "Goddamn, goddamn the pusher man." I think there have been hundreds, if not thousands, of Dr. Feelgoods in our nation's history, occasioned by numerous highly-educated physicians who would sell their Hippocratic Oath for a dime bag.
When RFK managed to sample a bit of what his older brother was taking at the time (sold to him as an all-natural energy boost) he ran it though the FBI labs. Bobby came back "You can't take this stuff, Jack, it's methamphetamine!"
"I don't care if it's horse piss, it makes me feel great." was JFK's retort. Made him feel great and gave him the energy to copulate at least 2 or 3 or 4 times a day with various willing females, including the 2 teenage interns staffing the correspondence pool.
Some of the Dr. Feelgoods were foreigners, some were homegrown, but the fact is, when power, influence, and money meets the health profession, there's always someone there to administer whatever it is you want.
Even if it kills you.
