Federal Authorities Investigating Cabell County Doctor
WEST VIRGINIA....
Federal authorities are investigating Cabell County Dr. Philip F. Fisher, a Barboursville osteopath who treats patients at the Huntington Spine Rehab and Pain Center. According to an affidavit by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, Fisher issued pre-signed prescriptions and sometimes accepted some drugs back from patients, using some for himself, and sometimes giving it to others, including girlfriends and other acquaintances. The investigation shows Dr. Fisher as being potentially complicit in the overdose deaths of at least 14 individuals, including a former girlfriend. No formal charges have been filed, but authorities raided Huntington Spine, the Rest Assured Sleep Technologies facility, located next to the pain center, owned by Fisher and Fisher's Hash Ridge Road home last week.
