This is a WITCH HUNT. No ifs, ands or buts. This is a 21st century witch hunt.

Each patient is responsible for his/her own medical care. If that person is not competent, a family member steps in.

If you have doubts about a doctor, common practice is to get a second opinion. Just because a doctor prescribes something, it's the patient that has to go to the pharmacy, pick it up, pay for it and take it. If you don't think it's good for you, DON'T TAKE IT. If your family sees a difference in your behavior, would it not be THEM that would seek additional care for someone's care?

Further, doctors ask all patients if they have been treated for addiction, depression, etc. If the patient lies, how is the doctor to know the patient is a "closet addict".

Bottom line: Dr. Buchwalter has a lot of patients -- and it's my guess that most of them are NOT on controlled substances. Could it be that the other general practioners in the area who are hurting in this economy are looking to find a way to discredit this decent man?

If these slanted stories by the Sun are considered "journalism", I am burning my journalism degree.
