is darin shapiro featured in that?

actually, what's weird is this medical stuff under his name has his first name spelled as "darrin." In wakeboarding didn't he spell it with one r? I just think it's weird, like for google searches and such, and why change the way you spell your name.

It might just be an accidental misspelling by the paper that reported this? And then everyone else that picked up the story just spelled his name the same way?

electricsnow, no. its just about people driving from ohio and places like that to get pills because the pain clinics in florida are so fvcked up.

I'm not sure. so far I only see one news article on the story and I thought it was weird even there that they misspelled it (but understandable). This is the other thing I was looking at: http://www.hipaaspace.com/Medical_Billing/Coding/NPI/Codes/NPI_1912221714.aspx

TTUFAN24, after reading about that clinic bust, things do sound pretty fizzle up in florida.

I just think this is really sad and it blows my mind, because he seemed like a really healthy guy. Now he's jeopardized his family life and when you think about all of the people that were endangered because of the accessibility of those pills...it's all really sad.

This angers me so much I can hardly post. What people don't seem to realize is how many lives this destroies. Think of the THOUSANDS of people this clinic helped get addicted. Then realize it a family disease so multiply those thousand by 3 or 4 to be conservative. Unexceptable.

I will say he does deserve redemption if he seeks it.

This is evil. dont be fooled by the look of a trusted wakeboarding icon. i live in ohio and i have seen the effects of these pill mills and the amount of oxycotton that is driven to here from florida. im glad to see that he has been arrested. i hope he Fully understands how many familys were DESTROYED because of sick people like him. because of him, kids have died. and if his center was as big as they say than its undoubtable that he was the cause of lifelong addiction for many unfortunate people. no redemption is deserved for this snake.
He made the decision to choose greed and money over the well being of children and americans nation wide. F.UCK people like him and his family.

Any doc that gives people pills that are not needed should be in jail. There are real doctors out there who actually try to help people. Most doctors hate partners of any kind so one can assume the ones he hired were not good. He looks like he's on drugs in the pic. Never thought I'd say this, but if he knew how things were running he should be in jail.
