I am/was a triple board certified physician who had two patients that abused their prescriptions and died from “accidental overdose.” There was also an undercover officer who had lied about needing medication. The government feels that I am wrong in saying that if they had taken the prescriptions as directed, they would still be alive today. I had no intention of causing them harm or taking advantage of the privilege I had of being a physician. My medical opinion counted for nothing and I still can’t find any legal precedent that says sloppy record keeping is against the law. In my opinion, there was no evil intent whatsoever. My direct appeal was finally filed on August 1, 2023 and now I have to wait. I am praying that the Ruan/Kahn decision of July 2022 will turn my case on its ear and I am allowed to do what I was born to do. As a result of these kangaroo proceedings which had started in 2014, I have lost everything that took me a lifetime to earn. I have lost everything financially, socially, emotionally, professionally, and intellectually trying to profess and demonstrate my innocence. I am at the point where I am starting to think that I am better off in this hell than I am on the outside. I have no clue where I could go or do with a society that age discriminates, being painted in a corner by education and experience, plus having no money or travel experience. I never had a passport nor went on vacations. All I have done for my entire life is go to school, work and take care of my family. There is nothing in prison that can prepare me for any kind of life on the outside.
