I don't often remark about work here, probably because of all the privacy issues that I face as an employee of a healthcare organization. I will remark today.
This is in reference to Operation TennCare RX.
At least two of the busted individuals got prescriptions from my pharmacy. And on one occasion on of them did this:
He stumbles in, with a gravity that indicates more than mere drunk. He's taking pain killers and drinking. And presenting his sorry existance in public.
Falling to the consultation counter he presents his freshly wounded hand. A gash, at least 2 inches long created by "trimming my nails with my knife." While in the car, going over a speedbump. He's the king of cool now.
He falls again, smearing his blood-soaked hand across my counter. I'm thinking out loud, "I'm not equiped to handle bio-hazard." "Can I get a band-aid?" Hells yes my company will pay for you to stop bleeding. I rush to get this fool a band-aid.
"Can you put it on?" He needs me to because he probably can't even see his own hand.
Everyone out of the gene pool, Heavy has gone and soiled himself.
My brother has this idea that it's not survival of the fittest, but survival of the luckiest. I don't entirely buy that, but I honestly have no other explanation for Heavy D. Sometimes luck happens.

You said that the DA was pushing for maximum sentence. Good, that keeps him out of our hair for that long.

Ok, that's 42 not 70. Who are the rest?

According the to TBI 72 were indicted. Who knows where the other names are. They could be minors, their names could be part of an ongoing investigation.
Here's what the TBI had to say about it:
