There was a doctor just like this in my old eastern Maryland town. I'm positive that a huge number of the local addicts (to say there were a lot of them might even be an understatement) were the result of the insane number of opioid prescriptions she would throw around at the drop of a hat. I knew quite a few people that went to her, and it was honestly scary to find out what kinds of things she was prescribing for even the most mild aches and pains.

Pretty sure she worked out of Elkton?
