Local Doctors Admit To Illegally Obtaining Painkillers - Is Drug Abuse Linked To Some Medical Mistakes?

Two local doctors have admitted they took prescription drugs illegally.  Dr. Lawrence Parris of Bothell has admitted that he took Demerol from his clinic and made it look like it was for patients.  While Dr. Lawrence Gogenola of Bellevue admitted he wrote Oxycodone prescriptions for someone who was not one of his patients.  Their cases are unrelated but each doctor faces up to a year in prison, and a $100-thousand dollar fine.

Being a personal injury attorney, I cannot help but wonder if drug abuse among doctors could be behind some cases of medical mistakes and errors
