Without knowing all the full transcripts it is of course possible we are hearing an editorialised version of events, but things like this:
“Why are you here to see a shrink?” he asked.
She explained that she needed prescriptions for her boyfriend, who’d hurt his
foot.
Dreyer asked if she was having pain, too.
She shook her head no.
“Cramps?” Dreyer asked.
“I mean that makes sense, cramps.”
“Well, we’ll get you covered,” Dreyer said. “And you know it’s a hundred-dollar
charge.” After she paid him, he told her, “And that, my love, is the game.”
Makes it seem pretty clear that he was blatantly breaking the law regarding prescriptions. Letting a patient pretend they need painkillers for themselves when you know it's really for their boyfriend, because you couldn't legally prescribe it for someone who isn't there...
Plus he didn't seem interested in checking whether people were in pain beyond an "are you in pain?".
Sure, you could argue that he was still "just trying to help people", but short of having all prescription drugs laid out on supermarket shelves for anyone to pick up whenever they want, there has to be a line drawn somewhere for "how to be responsible about giving out dangerous drugs", and giving them to anyone who asks for them is not on the right side of that line.
