Lesly Pompy, MD of Monroe, Michigan is the latest pain management physician now under attack for treating pain. His office was raided by the usual DEA agents, state and local law enforcement on Sept 26, 2016.  His office is located at ProMedica Monroe Regional Hospital and he is affiliated with them, but the hospital immediately made public that his practice was not owned by the hospital.

Dr.Pompy is a board certified anesthesiolgist with subspecialty board in Pain Management. He earned his MD degree from the New-York Medical College, an MBA from the University of South Florida, an MS from Madonna University and an MSF from Walsh College, so he is highly educated and intelligent.

Dr. Lesly Pompy has been named in two search warrants—of his office and his private residence (for confiscation purposes). He is accused of prescribing more than one million doses of narcotic pills, supposedly the most in the state of Michigan, in the past year. The doctor was arrested and taken to jail where he was expected to be booked on prescription and insurance fraud charges in addition to delivery of narcotics charges.

Michigan State Police Lt. Marc Moore, head of the drug unit MANTIS, accused Dr. Pompy of seeing hundreds of patients a day and issuing prescriptions for opiates to people who did not need them. Lt. Moore showed his ignorance and prejudice by referring to another convicted doctor saying “That’s Linares territory,” and saying that he is convinced Dr. Pompy contributed to the heroin addiction epidemic in Monroe County. Someone needs to inform Lt. Moore (as well as all other law enforcement) of the REAL cause of drug abuse that I teach through my DVD and webinars.

Lt. Moore also said “Our information was, you go in there a handful of times and eventually you’ll get a medication from him.” Well…that’s how pain management offices are supposed to work.

On Dr. Pompy’s Facebook page, patients have written messages showing the kind of doctor he is—compassionate and knowledgeable. Examples:

  1. Dr. Pompy has been helping my mother for the last 10 years. Before him, no one could even acknowledge her pain was real. Today she loves life and appreciates the things that matter like family. Thank you Dr. Pompy.

  2. 5 star rating: Dr Pompy goes over and beyond on helping those with difficult illness. I have CRPS and he has help bring me along in my illness to places other doctors could not. TY Doc for being here for me the last four years. Yes he has many patients because he is good at what he does but when it is your turn he listens to you. I have been to many doctors and I would wait my turn gladly to see doctor Pompy. I trust him with my care. He has not ever lead me wrong.

  3. 5 star rating: I love Dr.Pompy. He has helped me overcome a lot of pain issues besides his great bedside manners! He is truly one if not the best Dr. they have in Monroe. If it weren’t for Dr. Pompy I don’t think I’d be here…staff is great they will help with anything you have going on always there to help out. Thank you Dr.Pompy for everything! ♡

Similar statements have been written in response to the negative doctor-bashing media articles.

Now for some facts. ProPublica has published prescription data on 410,000 doctors across the country. Let’s compare Dr. Pompy with the government subsidized “expert witness” that they used against me and see how “bad” Dr. Pompy really is, (or isn’t?)

First, here is the data on the medications written by the doctors. What this shows is that Dr. Pompy covers all of the needs of the patient pertaining to their pain and side effects of their medications, not just the pain medicine itself. This shows a doctor who is more well-rounded and patient oriented.

  Rank for Dr. Pompy Rank for Dr. Swanson     Rank for Dr. Pompy Rank for Dr. Swanson     Rank for Dr. Pompy Rank for Dr. Swanson
Lortab 1 1   Flexeril 11 17   Seroquel 21
Percocet 2 4   Cymbalta 12   Topamax 22
Methadone 3 8   Fentanyl 13 5   Baclofen 23 23
Lyrica 4   Ibuprofen 14   Trazodone 24 24
Tramadol 5 9   Endocet 15 7   Lodine 25
Neurontin 6 10   Mobic 16 14   Xanax 26 16
Zanaflex 7 15   Ambien 17   Elavil 27 21
Morphine ER 8 3   Prilosec 18   Zantac 28
Oxycodone 9 2   Remeron 19   Flector 30
Suboxone 10   Oxycontin 20 11        

 

The medications listed under Dr. Swanson with a — means he never prescribed these. They are all non-controlled medications that would be considered by the legal powers targeting doctors as the better choice. Notice Dr. Pompy prescribed them while Dr. Swanson, the government “expert” didn’t.

This table shows a few significant points. In the attack against Dr. Pompy, the law charges him with prescribing a high number of controlled drugs. But here, compared with Dr. Swanson, the government’s accepted “expert”, Dr. Pompy didn’t prescribe as much of the strong opiates as Dr. Swanson did. His prescriptions were more for the lower strength opiates—a move that was basically forced on pain management physicians because of the anti-long-acting opiaphobia the government has caused. But naturally that increases the number of pills to do the job.

Also, Dr. Swanson prescribed a considerable amount of benzodiazepines (Ativan, Valium and Zanax), while Dr. Pompy prescribed them to less than 11 patients over the entire year.  Benzodiazepines treat anxiety and anxiety is more of a marker for addiction and abuse than pain medicines are. So in actuality, Dr. Swanson is contributing more to the potential addict than Dr. Pompy is.

So what does all of this prove? That there is no justification for this attack on Dr. Pompy. He is just the chosen target of the government for whatever reason they want to target him—money or prestige. But realistically his prescription pattern is actually better than that of the physicians that the government uses as “expert witnesses” in trials. And doctors like Dr. Swanson shouldn’t be throwing stones.

As a side note, Dr. Swanson took over one of my patients that I discharged after 2 months because I recognized the fact that she was taking medications I had not prescribed.  Dr. Swanson continued to see her for the 6 months we saw her records (and could still be seeing her), even though the illegal medication was still showing up in her UDS. But Dr. Swanson is still in practice and I spent >2 years in prison.

Addendum:

Dr. Pompy was acquitted of all charges on Jan 10, 2023.  With his training now in law, hopefully he will get behind ending these attacks on the medical profession and the patients we serve.

Addendum from the author:

I have failed in my mission to end these attacks on doctors and pain patients. Through John Bevere’s book The Bait of Satan, I have figured out why—my lack of forgiveness to those who attacked me. As in Mark 11: 24-26:

“Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them. And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses. But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses.”

And when you do not do the will of the Father, you are estranged from him and he will ignore you.  So we all must forgive the agents who attacked us in order for things to be made right through any of our works.

Jesus said

“Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.”

But we cannot lay down our lives for God unless we know Him well enough to trust Him. We must have the assurance that He would never do anything to harm us. He always looks out for what He knows is in our best interest. As a nation, those of us suffering from these attacks must understand that we are serving as God’s messengers of love.  We must forgive those who persecute us and love them instead, following God’s will for us. Then and only then will we see fruits from our labor.

So I hope that everyone who has suffered from what happened to the doctor can trust the Lord, forgive those who have hurt you, and help bring this country back to the God-fearing country that our forefathers founded. Then, and only then, can you be a part of the effort to stop these attacks. I look forward to that day.
