Ft. Walton Beach -- Dr. Michael Reed isn’t the only area doctor headed to prison on drug related charges.

The State Department of Health has now suspended the license of Fort Walton Beach Osteopathic Physician Dr. Carolyn McGrail.

This comes after she entered a guilty plea, and was sentenced to five months in federal prison for one count of illegally dispensing schedule three narcotics.

According to Dr. McGrail, these charges came about after she wrote her husband a prescription for hydrocodone.

McGrail must serve three years probation after her prison release.

So Drs. Reed & McGrail disregarded their Hippocratic Oath & chose the personal-wealth-at-any-cost route to their clinical legacy instead. Pity. But you may rest assured they are not unique. They join the 21 other MDs convicted in a single 90-day period this past summer in the state of California - of crimes ranging from rape to drug dealing, from secretely filming nude patients to child molestation. They join the 1,100 MDs convicted over the past 3 years nationwide. They join 237,000 physicians recorded in the National Practitioner Data Bank's "Questionable" or "Dangerous" medical miscreant files. We have deteriorated to an ugly milestone in this country, and that is this: No professionals in America create more suffering, pillage more private & national treasure, nor kill more innocent people, than our errant physicians. And the lack of a collective, thunderous demand for an end to this idiocy, says far more about our societal mental midgetry, than it does about doctor shenanigan.
