David Lewis, MD, 41 is the youngest of the 5 physicians at The Pain Center in Warren, Michigan to be charged with fraud and distribution. After a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry, medical degree from Meharry Medical College, residency in Anesthesiology, and a pain management fellowship, Dr. Lewis just completed board requirements to be certified with the American Board of Anesthesiology. So do you really think that after going through all of that, Dr. Lewis would choose to submit fraudulent claims to Medicare? Of course not! He is a victim of gross government misconduct in violation of constitutional rights as any doctor in the country is possible to be.
Dr. Lewis is charged with one count of health care fraud conspiracy, one count of conspiracy to distribute controlled substances, two counts of aiding and abetting health care fraud based on 2 claims, and one count of aiding and abetting the unlawful distribution of controlled substances based on giving 60 doses of hydrocodone-acetaminophen to a patient.
The doctors in this office are being charged with making money by prescribing opioids and other controlled substances so patients would become returning customers and need additional opioids, and then be forced to undergo medically unnecessary procedures. They are accused of submitting false claims to Medicare, Medicaid and Blue Cross and using the funds from the claims for personal use.
So what does that mean? Basically patients came to the office with chronic pain which the doctors diagnosed and then treated. By law, patients have to return for refills of their pain medicines. Non-opioid treatments-which the government is pushing now-were done. And when the claims were paid, the doctors received their salaries which they took home to use as they personally needed. I think that is called routine medical care in this country. If the return of a patient for chronic care is criminal, then every medical practice from pediatrics to geriatrics needs to watch out, because you could be next.
Chronic pain patients are all jumping on the wagon of fighting the 90mme guidelines of the CDC. But what they don’t realize is that the government will attack targeted physicians for as little as #60 Lortab, as they did here. What they need to do is get behind the doctors and fight for the DOJ following the rule of law and not create crime where there is no crime.
The government hopes that some of these doctors will cop a plea. They probably picked Dr. Lewis as a target for this possibility. Having just finished all of his training, he doesn’t have the financial backing for good legal representation, and might be forced by the usual government-provided defense attorney to either plea or act as a “cooperating witness” by committing forced perjury against the other defendants. They are not permitted to communicate with each other, and we’ve all seen the way the prosecutors work with all of the interrogation scenes on TV. Believe me, they happen. You have to be really strong to not fall for their lies. Dr. Lewis, stand strong. Join us on DoctorsofCourage and learn. Forewarned is forearmed. And DON’T cave in to a plea or a cooperating witness. Have faith. You are innocent.

Addendum:
Dr. Lewis was acquitted in June, 2022 along with three of his colleagues
To end these attacks, restore pain management, and provide compensation to all the families that have been destroyed by government overreach, we must get the Controlled Substance Act repealed. Join Doctorsofcourage to get that done. Learn what we teach and spread the word. NO DRUG CAUSES ADDICTION!! Let’s end the War on Drugs, Doctors and Pain Patients, end the black market, solve the southern border crisis, and restore proper pain management. It CAN be done!
Addendum:
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 trespassed. 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 Dr. Lewis 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.

A victim of prosecutorial misconduct and outright law-breaking of the government agencies DEA, DHHS, and DOJ, she hopes to be a part of exonerating all doctors illegally attacked through the Controlled Substance Act. She holds the key to success, as she can offset the government propaganda that drugs cause addiction with the truth: The REAL Cause of Drug Abuse.

My name is Elsie i think, the M.D. that doing illegal things need to be dealth with ,but it’s not fair for the paients that are really in pain i was in this position in Mobile Al when us as paiet had to go out to fine another pain M.D. we was treated like we was drug addicteds which is not fair at all I have MS in servere pain along with muscle spasm ,and most of the Doctors i went to did’nt think people MS are in pain i had to get my Neuro.M.D. to write letters and MRI to prove i was.Iwish when the authorities buste these crooked Doctors put something in place for the patient who really need edicatin,or make cannaibis legal in all states ,me personlly i think it would be safer than taking all those pills. Thanks for reading my complaints…..
First, Elsie, thanks for reading Doctorsofcourage. But you need to learn a few things to be effective in advocating for what you want. First, doctors are not doing anything criminal or illegal by prescribing opioids to patients. It is the rogue DOJ that has created crime where there is none, planting propaganda in the heads of Americans that opioids cause addiction. Second, as long as that propaganda exists, you will be looked upon and treated like an addict–because you are, just by being on an opioid, according to the government. Understand that the Controlled Substance Act was a racist instrument to attack blacks and minorities. Just the fact that now we accept the medical use of cannabis shows that to be a lie. And it needs to be repealed. THAT is OUR job–to get the government to understand the error of their ways, and correct them. Then, and only then, will pain management return to America.
Dr. David Lewis was just found NOT guilty on all three charges.!! Justice has prevailed. God is good!
YEAH!!!
Was Ron Chapman his lawyer?
yes, Ron was his lawyer
I’m so happy for him and hate he had to go through this. He’s an amazing doctor who actually cared and listened to his patients
If anyone can help me find out where and if he’s still practicing please let me know
I do not think we should blame AG Garland for what the DOJ is doing. He is simply a product of the propaganda like everyone else. Being Jewish with a family history of the holocaust, I feel that as soon as he recognizes that the war on drugs is simply propaganda to target minorities like Hitler did, he would be on our side. But I’m just a one-man band, and I can’t do it all alone. But the truth that he needs to learn is on Doctorsofcourage. It is the population of CPPs and those attacked chasing rabbits and not getting to what will make a difference that needs to change.
