if regards to doctor shopping, what if this doctor just believed his patients? why should one man be sent to prison, away from his family, because addicts just needed to get a fix? yes, he should have paid closer attention, but the people taking these medications knew what they were doing.

What took so long, the community knew the abuses that was taking place with this doctor even prior to his building of the Freeport Clinic back in the late 1990's. Everyone was turning a deaf ear to it back then. Is the late actions of the legal and healthcare watch groups going to share in his crimes and guilt. Doctor Bob, as known to many, had unknown and sanctioned help within in the healthcare systems to have done this. How many of the pharmacies assisted in distribution of these drugs, how many other doctors had knowledge of his practices, was the state monitoring his once long term care clients enough to detect a pattern. The ball may have been dropped a number of times prior to the events that have now come to light and the fact is that others will continue to suffer because of the monitoring system we continue to use.

for goodness sake they might as well arrest every doctor in the united states of america....dr.ignasiak hasnt killed anyone,this is a witch hunt from someone on an ego trip...if he was guilty then why on earth did he leave his patients files when he retired so they could have for their new doctor not for the D.E.A. to come in the middle of the night steal making it impossible for the patient for their future doctor,,shame on them

Took four years to curtail the slime ball doctor. I hope the press and media follows how long it will take our worthless medical board in Florida to react. How many more deaths and addicts will they allow this doctor to create before the medical board takes away his license?
