Ernesto Lopez, MD

Can’t New York City pay its bills without using illegal forfeiture against innocent physicians?  This week the 10th Long Island physician and 50th in the Eastern District of New York over the last 10 years listed on http://doctorsofcourage.org/by-location/ (and that isn’t an inclusive list) was attacked.

Ernesto Lopez, MD, an internist on Long Island, was arrested Nov. 2, 2017. Dr. Lopez graduated from medical school in 1967, and has over 50 years of experience. His charges involve the usual illegal targeting of older minority solo-practice primary care doctors doing pain management. And the media published the usual government propaganda blaming doctors’ prescriptions for the opioid epidemic. This is all a farce, and it is for one purpose—financial support of the DOJ.

Fourteen additional people were arrested including people who presented themselves as patients to Dr. Lopez, but then sold the pills on the street. But the government isn’t interested in attacking those people, because usually there’s no money in it. However, in this case the media pointed out that Eric and Christine Fortmeyer did own some high-end vehicles, which were confiscated. Usually the people actually breaking the law—the fake patients—get off if they lie against the doctor in trial.  I wonder if they’ll get their cars back. Two of Dr. Lopez’ staff were also charged with conspiracy to distribute controlled substances—Sharon Washington-Bhamre, NP and Audra Baker. These charges are usually also dropped for perjured testimony against the doctor. You see, they really don’t ever have a case against a doctor, and have to fabricate one and get people to lie on the witness stand.  Charging the doctor’s staff also prevents him from having defense witnesses.

As usual, the US Attorney used the phrase “drug dealers in lab coats”.  That is simply a lame attempt to make what they are doing appear legal. The Controlled Substance Act specifically exempts doctors from criminal charges. It was written expressly to attack the illegal sale of drugs on the street. See how the government is Using Law Illegally Against Doctors on the video on https://doctorsofcourage.org/videos/. But the DOJ tries to justify its illegal action through such propagandizing phrases. The REAL criminal breaking the law is the US Attorney. But instead, they get promoted, like Loretta Lynch who rode the backs of innocent doctors to the position of Attorney General. NY DEA head, James Hunt, should also do time behind bars for his illegal activity.

Ernesto Lopez, MD Addendum

Dr. Lopez was convicted of treating his patients with oxycodone in February, 2019, and was sentenced to 5 years in prison.  He was released from prison on 10/20/22.  We need you to join the fight, Dr. Lopez.

Doctors need to come together and defend themselves appropriately against these trumped up charges by spreading the truth that we teach to the masses. The government wins because of the propaganda.

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 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.
