Daughter Of Dr. Sandlin Now Activist
KENTUCKY...
The daughter of a popular doctor shot to death last year in his rural Kentucky clinic becomes an activist by lobbying for a national prescription database to instantly identify potential drug-abusing patients. Danielle Sandlin said hospitals and doctor's offices should be able to look up patients in a database and know immediately when they last were prescribed pain pills. The database would also contain prescriptions from other states. Police have said drug abuse was the motive behind the killing.
