Speaking before 14 television cameras and a dozen reporters, Brown stopped short of blaming Smith’s boyfriend, Howard K. Stern, and the doctors for the 39-year-old model’s 2007 death from an accidental overdose of prescription drugs, but he said the two-year, multi-agency investigation that led to charges uncovered behavior just as troubling as “street corner” drug dealers.Besides the event itself, two things are wrong with Brown's analysis. First, it isn't true that doctors over-prescribing drugs is just as troubling as the illegal street drug trade. I'd say it's a thousand times less troubling. Maybe it's ten thousand times less troubling. Second, Brown says the enemy are "people in white smocks in pharmacies..." What do pharmacists have to do with it? California pharmacists should give the attorney general something useful to do and sue him.
“People in white smocks in pharmacies and with their medical degrees are a growing threat,” he said.

Amen to this.
My Father was a pharmacist, and proud of the fact that he was more knowledgeable (in his time anyway) of the drugs than the doctors and pharm-reps.
In his day he would have even been able to stop fraud or counterfeit Rx because HE KNEW THE DOCTORS!
So cool! Thanks, Steve. Great to see you the other day.
