There is only one “David Dao” licensed by the Kentucky Board of Medical License David A.D. Dao in Elizabethtown, near Louisville where the infamous United Airlines flight was scheduled to land. The Louisville Courier-Journal reported that Dao had years before made news for a different reasons. He had been convicted in a lurid prescription drug case.
David A. D. Dao’s license was suspended in 2003 following his arrest on charges including unlawful prescribing and trafficking of a controlled substance.
The New York Post and a number of news organizations have reported that Dr. Dao of Elizabethtown had been accused of providing Vicodin to a patient in exchange for sex. He was accused and convicted and sentenced to probation for exchanging sex, money and prescription drugs to an office employee. The trial included video tapes of the “doctor” and his victim in a motel. He surrendered his license in 2005, but it was reinstated in 2015 partially. The doctor clearly took advantage of a person’s addiction. Patients go to doctors to relieve their aliments not to extend them. It is also the doctor pharmaceutical relationship that is at play as well.
The LA Times reported that Purdue Pharma aided and abetted crimes which created a surge in heroin overdoses across the country. A suit from the DA in Everett Washington is underway, which we blogged about recently. This shows that the wrong people in charge of drugs can wreak havoc on society. Instead of an apple a day to keep the doctor away. Maybe research each day can keep the doctor away.
