The best outcome in my mind here is that the doctors lose their medical licenses permanently.
They are the professional that should have laughed the cops out of the hospital.
- dragonwriter 13y ago> The best outcome in my mind here is that the doctors lose their medical licenses permanently. The best outcome, I would think, includes a number of people spending several years in federal prison for deprivation of rights under color of law (18 USC Sec. 242) [1], as well as any licensed professionals involved losing the relevant professional licenses.

- DannyBee 13y agoGood luck ever finding a federal prosecutor who gives a crap about this rather than spending time making their bones on drug cases ...
- dragonwriter 13y agoWell, yes, "best" and "most likely" are two different things. Of course, if punishing people for violating people's rights was something people were willing to actually hold politicians accountable for as much or more than punishing drug dealers, then US Attorneys -- always political appointees and usually also politicians -- would be much more concerned about it. Accept-and-mutter-darkly just preserves the status quo.
