Florida Clinic Focuses On Kentucky Patients
KENTUCKY....
Dr. Michael Lazzopina, a doctor at a pain clinic in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida., has been suspended for dispensing tens of thousands of painkillers to patients without medical justification. Fifteen of the 21 patients that Florida health officials investigated at the clinic were from Kentucky. Lazzopina said the clinic stopped accepting Kentucky patients after he concluded many were likely trafficking pills, and he was sure they were part of a gang or a band.
