On August 31, 2017, Dr. Rassan Tarabein, 58, a neurologist in Daphne, Alabama, pled guilty to one count of health care fraud and one count of unlawful distribution of a schedule II controlled substance. As part of his plea agreement, Dr. Tarabein will no longer be able to practice medicine in the United States. Sentencing is scheduled for March 2, 2018. Dr. Tarabein faces up to twenty years in prison.
The government’s account of the plea is so phony, it’s pathetic. But the sad truth is that people will believe it. They forced him to state that he billed for medically unnecessary tests and procedures in an insurance “scam”. Bull hockey. Take notice doctors: Every doctor in this country that takes government insurance is liable for these same charges. Drs. Couch and Ruan are spending 20 years in prison for the same reason.
The government pulled their usual arm-twisting tactics. Because Dr. Tarabein didn’t immediately bow to their charges, they threw more charges at him June, 2017, —22 more to be exact—of health care fraud, making false statements about health care, lying to a federal agent (the feds can lie and get away with it, though), unlawful distribution of controlled substances, and money laundering.
Dr. Tarabein did pain management in his practice including spinal injections. But to get all that money back that he earned doing his job, the government is claiming that from 2004 to 2017, his work was fraud. That’s how they are trying to pay back on the national deficit—from reclaiming insurance money paid out to doctors. EVERY DOCTOR IS LIABLE TO THIS EVIL. The government is claiming that standard of practice tests and procedures were unnecessary, and Dr. Tarabein did them for personal financial gain.
Check out all the lying government officials that want to ride on the coattails of another illegal attack on doctors, for money/promotions: US Attorney Butler, AG Steve Marshall, FBI agent Robert Lasky, Special DEA Agent Stephen G. Azzam and DHHS Special Agent Derrick L. Jackson. The lying statements they made make me want to puke. But we’ll have to depend on God to make them pay for their evil actions. The only true statement made was “This guilty plea is a testament to all the hard work and cooperation between the agencies that conducted this investigation.” Multiple government agents now work primarily on the income gained from attacking doctors today The problem with this is that when doctors cave in to this egregious government conduct, not only is that doctor’s life ruined, but so are hundreds more. Because the truth is not getting to the public, the government puts out media propaganda which people then believe, and the government simply lines up future doctors to attack.
Dr. Tarabein also has pending state criminal charges in Montgomery County, Alabama. On September 20, 2017, he is expected to plead guilty in state court. So the state is jumping on the gravy train as well. Some states are now doing this hundreds of doctors at a time.
Anyone who reads this website has an obligation to be an instrument for change. If you do nothing you are part of the problem. I tried to communicate with Dr. Tarabein at the time he was first attacked last year. I don’t know if he has been held in jail since then, but surely someone has seen the post on him, and should have passed the word to him about my willingness to be a witness at a trial to stop this egregious conduct. If you know of any doctors that have been raided or even suggestions of an investigation, you should connect us so that what I can do for them can be shared. We MUST stop this illegal activity.
Addendum
Rasan Tarabein was sentenced and is currently on home confinement and will be until Sept. 22, 2022. The state has not proceeded with their charges. Hopefully, considering his health, they will allow the federal sentence to be enough.
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.

I was a patient of Dr Tarabein. After years/decades of searching for a relief of pain I was referred to Dr T. I was able to get out of bed and have a more normal life. He even tried to get me to come off the opioid I was on but there was nothing I hadn’t already tried to I would not agree to. Sitting in the waiting area I would talk to people coming from far and wide to see him because they, too, we’re able to carry on in daily activities and be involved with their families. One gentleman even gave Dr T full credit for being out of a wheelchair and walking again. He found a small tumor on the brain of one of my dear friends when no other doctor had.
I personally don’t know if he did what he is accused of. What I do know is that those of us living with daily chronic pain have lost one of the greatest allies we ever had.
Another thing that bothers me is people continue to say the pain meds kill people, well of course if you take too much. And others say no they were “good”people. Bull crap. Those people don’t know that unless you are watching them 24/7 and no human can watch anyone 24/7. People have to sleep. I’m really tired of hearing that crap
Finally someone who agrees with me. The feds said he gave pain meds every month and made patients come monthly in order to get their pain meds. Well I know for a factother doctors that give pain meds and patients have to go monthly to get their pain meds, and I know they are NOT A NEUROLOGIST OR ORTHAPEDIC DOCTOR. So if regular doctors that have the MINIMAL degree can do it then why did they indite DOCTOR Taribein? He wasn’t familiar with how crooked the law is. They held him in one room and continued to interrogate him for days until he supposedly admitted to what they said. He was railroaded to admit more than he did. I would very much like to see him or talk to him or at least write to him. I’m in the medical field and I’m not an idiot.
