Town-Hall Drug Forums Set
KENTUCKY...
The first of several public town hall-style forums to discuss prescription drug abuse in Eastern Kentucky is set for 5:00 P. M. Monday at the Perry County Public Library in Hazard. The forums are intended to solicit public input and opinions for a medical symposium scheduled for March 6th. They were announced by Lt. Gov. Daniel Mongiardo following the December shooting death of Dr. Dennis Sandlin. Sandlin was allegedly shot at his clinic in Cornettsville in Perry County after refusing to prescribe pills to an irate patient. Venues aren't confirmed yet, but the following forums will be January 25th in Pikeville, February 8th in Pineville and February 22nd in Morehead.
