Jerome Sherard, MD

Jerome Sherard, MD, 60, of Hixon, TN, was the medical director for Superior One and Elite Care, the two clinics owned by Barbara Lang and Faith Blake. He also owned his own medical practice in Chattanooga. Dr. Sherard, along with the owners and a nurse practitioner, was charged August, 2012 with 66 counts of conspiring to illegally distribute and dispense controlled substances and distribution of controlled substances.  He pleaded not guilty.

Dr. Sherard finally accepted a guilty plea to writing controlled prescriptions in exchange for cash from “patients” who sometimes came from out of state. None of that is against the law. In fact, the law exempts doctors from charges for doing this very act—prescribing to patients in the office. Accepting cash in a business is not illegal.

During a hearing Thursday before U.S. District Court Judge Curtis Collier, prosecutor Gregg Sullivan credited Dr. Sherard for his accepting responsibility for his actions and agreed to a lesser sentence. In other words, Dr. Sherard was bribed with a lesser sentence if he gave false testimony against Barbara Lang, the owner. Dr. Sherard was sentenced to serve five years in prison while his nurse practitioner, Charles Larmore who didn’t testify, was sentenced to 13 years, even though nurse practitioners work under the supervision of the doctor. This shows how crooked the system is. Commit the illegal act of false testimony and we’ll lessen your sentence. Don’t, and we’ll sock it to you.

Dr. Sherard’s attorney, Robert Meeks, argued in a motion for a sentence lower than the federal guidelines, saying Sherard’s background and history of good works should justify a lesser sentence. He was raised in housing projects in Philadelphia and never knew his father. Yet he managed to lift himself from poverty and create a career as a successful pediatrician, “committed to healing people all his life,” Meeks said. More than 70 people wrote letters praising Sherard’s good works, including his 12- and 15-year-old sons. “Please give my dad another chance and release him so we can continue our lives together,” one boy wrote.

What do you think taking an innocent man away from two teenage boys will do to their understanding of justice? This is just pure evil.

Jerome Sherard, MD Addendum

Jerome Sherard was released from prison in February, 2019.  Where are you, Dr. Sherard?  You should be helping get all of your colleagues freed and exonerated.  Anyone in communication with him, please tell him to work on forgiveness and when he is ready, join us in the effort to restore humanity to the nation.

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.

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!
