This is utter nonsense. There is no evidence of such allegations of sweeping governmental big brother incursion into the medical practice of legitimate physicians. There are physicians that sell drugs for sex, prescribe drugs to those they know are selling the drugs, get kickbacks from patients selling the drugs on the street, etc. These doctors belong in jail, period. There was an exhaustive study of DEA actions against doctors and the amount is less than 0.05% per year of the doctors in practice. There are very bad doctors that sometimes run afoul of the DEA, not for prescribing medications, but for violating felony laws. There are far more patients doing the same, but most escape the DEA.
