The complaint by Drug Enforcement Administration agent Anissa Jones said the amount of prescriptions was "excessive" for a medical office with a sole practitioner in a rural area like Carrollton, about 40 miles west of Atlanta.
Excessive??? Just maybe! One million doses...I wish I had stock in the pharma company that filled those prescriptions!
