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.
Jackie was taking the French ambassador on a tour of the White House and, as they passed through the front office, in perfect French, she said "And these are the two girls Jack's been sleeping with."
Unfortunately, there was another lady in the office who spoke perfect French.
No, the scavengers would be prey to Mr. Perry. Instead we were hunting the by-products of toxic educational institutions. To be found as a corpse, Floating or otherwise.
The jackals ate and ate well.
Knowing how simple minds like to grasp and hold on to the very first “thing” that crosses their path… the focus being on the big bucks. Not so much the patient. That’s what we’re talking about, the patient with whatever symptoms came in to play.
Darwin is part of a natural order, not greed or whichever ailment these “human vultures” are guided by.
Thank you Ann for this important update on the white coat, underground drug trade and watered down laws for some…. What would we do without foreign doctors?Perhaps: Not die earlier than necessary, have to sing for our supper, die a dry death, have to hide our skin color. The list is endless. This story is more relevant because of the California/Netflix/Hollywood “connection”. Addiction should never be exploited. These doctors and “assistants” and ketamine “queens” are the sick people. Take cultural “unawareness” out of the equation. Candidate Harris knows full well the responsibility is hers. Walz is a stunt person. Harris, due to lawlessness under her reign, wrote the revisions to the identity politics democrat drug playbook she is running on. The Dems made no other choice-with all the egg on their face- than attempt to ram her through. Drug abuse is not cackling funny, not funny at all. US citizens need to wake up. Really. Wake up.
Ann, I don't want to give the NYT any of my money (it all goes to you, Matt Taibbi, and others), can you summarize the immigration status of the people involved - gen, il/legal, etc?
Hal, if you or anyone else wishes to read the NYT article that Our Gracious Hostess kindly provided the link for, but you don't want to give your hard-earned Capitalist dollars to the Marxist trash at the NYT for a subscription, you can do so here at the Internet Web Archive:
For future reference and your convenience, the IWA doesn't have 'everything' archived but there are other places you can look if you can't find your desired page there. Others may have a better idea, but for myself I've found that it's easiest to just copy the URL of the page you'd like to read to your clipboard and then navigate to one of several sites that link to multiple archive sources. At the moment I'm using Paywall Reader
You're quite welcome, Robin! I'm delighted if my post was helpful to you.
For those of us who are voracious readers, getting a subscription to every website that has an article we want to read is simply not possible. I don't know if a perfect answer will ever be found to this dilemma, but until a better solution comes along this is the best method I've found.
HINT: I bookmarked Paywall Reader and added it as a 'button' to my 'favorites' bar on my web browser, so all I need to do is copy the full URL of my desired article onto my clipboard, click the Paywall Reader button, paste the URL into P.R. and I'm on my way.
It would almost be more fun if it wasn’t perfectly legal…screwing the NYT’s is minor compensation for the screwing it has given America but, nonetheless, it would be fun.
Agreed...If the NYT would go out of business it might just force a lot of 'journalists' to begin thinking for themselves...and perhaps developing an interest in actually becoming true journalists. For a century or more, the NYT has been the Pied Piper that has led the rest of American 'news' outlets down specific, regimented paths in terms of deciding what issues and stories to cover and what to think about them. The NYT has been instrumental in destroying and corrupting the entire professions of journalism and newsgathering, and they haven't exactly been a beacon of knowledge or virtue for academic rigor either. It would truly be a breath of fresh air if they were out of the picture.
We might even be able to begin watching TV news programs again, and comparing different points of view between the networks.
I confess that for many years, pretty much the only times I've ever wanted to switch on a TV news show has been when Miss Coulter has been a guest.
Plenty of fine foreign-born docs who trained here. The real current issue is the idea that we should just license them because they were docs in Uzbekistan and skip the American training.
Not to excuse immigrant doctors--I ran into one of the worst during a short hospital stay, but have also had good experiences, including a world class experience--but 'Mericans are happy to push shite too. Just yesterday, I heard a stock analyst pushing ketamine and other psychedelic "remedies" for depression on CNBC's Fast Money program. With Pfizer back to its pre-Covid price (Moderna's mRNA Covid jab was even more injurious in studies), and GLP-1 already exploited for diabetes and obesity, the stock pickers are desperate to find the next hot snack food company (Mars buys Kellanova!), the next hot obesity drug, and a "fix" for the turbo cancers that mysteriously appeared right after the Covid jabs.
I miss the great sketchy-adjacent online pharmacies. Thanks a lot, DEA.
I didn’t know why people abuse Ketamine. Here’s a paste from the DOJ (Now Obamasized to better protect our democracy) website:
“Ketamine is an anesthetic that is abused for its hallucinogenic properties. Its predominant legitimate use is as a veterinary anesthetic; … approved for use by animals and humans. Abuse gained popularity when users discovered it produced effects similar to PCP. Ketamine also has been used by sexual predators to incapacitate their intended victims.”
Which is worse...the products of a foreign grad school or the highly questionable standards of our best domestic grad schools?
May I cheat and ask Heather Mac Donald for an opinion?
At least in a PRC med school you probably won't find any dumbasses unless they are the children of party leaders or imminent organ donors

Even if it kills you.
Wow Dem staffer chicks sure have been easy historically

Drug overdose deaths are Darwinism at work.

but there might be others that are better. Paywall Reader has been pretty good about getting me to most articles I want to read.
Don't worry; this is all perfectly legal.
Thank you! Last thing I need is another $7 “trial” just to read an article

At least Dr. Kevorkian was honest with his patient's.

That stuff doesn't flush.
There are thugs in every business (sorry that’s racist). Perhaps going to rehab without white table cloths would have helped.

Great article Ann, I am so glad these people posing as doctors are getting held accountable for this tragedy. RIP Matthew Perry.
