Dr. Fuhai Li, 53, of Milford, PA was convicted June 5, 2018 for doing his job by another falsely-led naïve jury.  When is this illegal government overreach into medicine going to stop?  People have to understand that, as long as the federal government creates crime to justify their jobs, NO ONE is immune to criminalization. Just read Three Felonies a Day by Harvey Silverglate or Licensed to Lie by Sidney Powell.

Li was convicted of all 32 counts he faced, which included one count of drug distribution resulting in death, for which he can be sentenced to 20 years, and one count of distribution of a controlled substance to a pregnant woman. Now from what I can glean from the media, the pregnant woman was already on opioids, and probably stopping them would have put her and the baby at even more risk. And charging a doctor for committing a crime for a death, unless he force-fed the pills to the patient, how can he be held responsible?  That’s like holding Ford Motor Company president liable for someone who drives one of their cars over a cliff.

This conviction of an innocent physician is totally a result of government propaganda being spewed across the country by the media, causing people to already have an opinion that doctors who prescribe controlled drugs are criminals. On March 1, 2018, Terrie Morgan-Besecker, of Timesshamrock.com laid out the government propaganda that they would use to convict the doctor.  This is a form of jury tampering.  In this article, Dr. Li was listed as “causing the fatal overdose of a patient” and “once ranking fifth in the nation for the number of doses prescribed” (which only came from an analysis by Express Scripts). The reporter used the government-created propagandizing term “Pill mill”, threw money into the equation, with a 4-year income of $1 million (which isn’t really that much), and quoted government agents calling him a “street dealer, except he used a prescription pad to commit the crimes”. She then aided the government charges stating that some of Li’s patients were addicts who used the drugs themselves or resold them, and then spread the government propaganda that some patients became addicts because of their prescription meds (which is a total government fabrication spread by media)

But the outcome of this out-of-control DOJ is that innocent doctors go to prison and legitimate pain patients are being forced to the street, dying of overdose or suicide. I would be interested in the report of how many of Dr. Li’s patients are now dead as a result of his office being closed. Show me those statistics, and let’s hold the US Attorneys responsible for those deaths.

So let’s see how this injustice against Dr. Li occurred. How do US Attorneys achieve convictions of innocent physicians? First, by forced perjury. They had patients who resold their medication testify. They were probably coerced through promises to not have charges filed against them if they testified against the doctor. That is a usual government ploy.

Second, by playing on the sympathy of the jury for actions that are beyond the doctor’s control, such as the patient who died, or the baby that went through withdrawal, or accusing Dr. Li of creating addicts through the opioids he prescribed (which is pure government propaganda).

Third, the usual illegal use of the Controlled Substance Act. Dr. Li was convicted of using his medical offices for the purpose of unlawfully prescribing opioids, based on limited medical exams. But in reality, according to the CSA, if there is a patient record, the doctor is exempt from the use of that law. Per 802 (56)(c), only the doctor can determine what is “legitimate medical practice”. So how can the government charge him with “illegitimate medical practice”?  Just the fact that he is charged with unlawfully prescribing oxycodone and other opioids to 23 former “patients” should cause immediate dismissal of the charges.  The fact that they were patients, and he had a patient record, makes him exempt by the letter of the law written in the CSA. But then the courts make money off these convictions.

Did his lawyer even put the Controlled Substance Act in front of the jury?  You can bet that the government didn’t. And defense lawyers don’t bother showing the facts, because they ride the gravy train as well. Li’s attorneys, William Ruzzo and Michael Weinstein, knew Dr. Li to be innocent. But they failed to represent him in a way to prove the illegal actions of the government. They did the usual white collar approach of having their defense expert testify that Dr. Li’s prescribing practices were within medical guidelines. But what they should have done is show, through exposing the CSA to the jury, that if there is a medical record at all, the CSA cannot be used against the doctor.

Fourth, the government throws numbers around, knowing that they will be misinterpreted by the jury.

Fifth, they play on the fact that medical practice is a financially viable business, riding on the money Dr. Li had stored in his home, and the fact that he had patients who were self-pay. But since when has making money in a capitalist society been a crime?  Only when the government paints it in a court room as such. I was painted as “in it for the money” when the biggest salary I ever made in my practice was $24,000 a year. And that picture was never even contradicted by my attorney. I’ll bet Dr. Li’s didn’t either.

Now the point of attacking Dr. Li is this: the charge of money-laundering.  Through tying in his home and office, the government can forfeit both which pays the salaries of the Court, US Attorneys, DEA, etc.  What someone with any desire to uncover crime should do is investigate all the people in the DOJ that benefit from these illegal attacks on physicians using the CSA.

People wake up and see the facts. Just the fact that words like “money laundering” and “drug distribution” show that doctors are being illegitimately attacked by a law that was intended to be used against the illegal distribution of illicit drugs coming into America illegally through drug cartels. Get my DVD here, or at least watch the shorter video or read the ebook. Learn the truth. And stop convicting innocent physicians for doing their job.

So now that this horrendous violation of rights and government creating crime for their own self-interest, what can we expect in the future? This case has set a scary precedent in the middle district of Pennsylvania for targeting doctors where a patient who had been prescribed opioids has died. And the government has jumped on that as license to attack more. Mr. Freed even admitted:

“I think you will see more of these types of prosecutions…”

I take the freedom of correcting Mr. Freed’s announcement following Dr. Li’s conviction to:

 “Physicians who choose to prescribe [pain medicines] must and should be on notice… If they engage in this behavior, this is how they will end up,”

Now who is David Freed?  He became US Attorney on Nov 27, 2017. Before that he was District Attorney of Cumberland County since 2006. But as you can see, his career is now riding on the backs of innocent physicians.  He states that 3 other doctors are under investigation.

But my records at that time shows the following professionals still have cases pending in Pennsylvania: Raymond Kraynak, Mt. Carmel; Brent Clark, Pittsburgh;   Daniel Garner, Pittsburgh; Cynthia Masso, Philadelphia; Michael Milchin, Philadelphia, Mehdi Nikaparvfard, Willow Grove;  George Norkus, Pittsburgh; Keyhosrow Parsia, Ridley Park;  Mitesh Patel, Media; Angela Rongione, Philadelphia; Michael Rosen, Lafayette Hill; John Vira, Philadelphia; Lawrence Wean, Delaware Cty; Andrzej Zielke, Gibsonia; Rajaa Nebbari, Scranton; Chetan Byhadgi, Milford; Kurt Moran, Scranton; Bruce Lief, Wayne; Rebecca Lee Delbaggio, Altoona; Kurt Moran, Scranton; Michael Bummer, Sewickley; Spiro Kassis, Plymouth Meeting.

Over the course of the last 12 years, my investigation has uncovered 75 doctors attacked illegally in Pennsylvania using the Controlled Substance Act.  The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is making a lot of money on the back of innocent physicians. This needs to stop.

Mr. Freed knows how the government works. In the case of Steven Hatfill, a man charged with the anthrax attacks, Mr. Freed confessed that it

“provides a cautionary tale about how federal authorities, fueled by the general panic over terrorism, embraced conjecture and coincidence as evidence, and blindly pursued one suspect while the real killer roamed free for more than six years.”

So now Mr. Freed shows how conscience means nothing in the pursuit of promotion, as he also rides the propaganda train against opioids in pursuit of doctors doing their job.

Another government ploy to prevent a doctor from adequate representation in the court is to have them be immediately detained pending sentencing. Dr. Li was released, but U.S. Attorney Freed intends to appeal the release order. Doctors sitting in prison can’t do much in an appeal. Just another method of the government to insure their jobs.

Addendum:

Dr. Li was  was sentenced to 27.5 years in prison.  Pray that we get all of these innocent practitioners freed and exonerated before his sentence is finished.
