INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) They supposed to save lives, but prosecutors and federal investigators say four doctors at Wagoner Medical Center locations in Central Indiana may be tied to as many as 27 deaths.

I Team 8 uncovered troubling information about the doctors and the number of drugs they prescribed.

"He came home from the doctor before he passed away and took the medications, Dylan said. said we would go out for a ride together (on the motorcycle.)"

Bobby Haynes also died. His widow, Angela, spoke through tears, saying, "He was only 30 years old."

Nancy Williams was another death.

"My sister was a pistol, her brother Darrell said, smiling.

Bailey, Haynes and Williams are now known to police and prosecutors as numbers: Victim numbers 17, 22 and 6. The Wagoners and two other doctors at the clinics face numerous drug charges in connection with the deaths of 27 patients including dealing in narcotics and conspiracy charges. A Drug Enforcement Agency investigation brought 95 felony counts against nine employees, including the Wagoners.

"It Carlos Hyde Authentic Jersey was known as the candy shop," Dylan said.

In the probable cause affidavit, former patients and former employees say the Wagoner clinics were "cash and carry." The statement goes on to say patients paid their bills in full as much as $400 a week before being handed a prescription to get narcotics including hydrocodone, xanax and oxycontin. Some of the patients were prescribed nearly 400 to 500 pills a month of methadone or hydrocodone, taking it six times a day. Police documented 127,495 prescriptions over four years making it nearly 51 million pills.

RED FLAGS

According to the probable cause documents, concerns first surfaced more than a decade ago when nurses at a drug treatment center figured out many of their addicted patients were also patients of the Wagoners.

Concerns also came from four doctors from Howard County and an emergency room doctor from St. Joseph Hospital who realized one in four overdoses in the ER were Wagoner patients. Then the pharmacies started chiming in and finally, with deaths stacking up, the Howard County coroner got involved. The families didn know so many people knew there were red flags until I Team 8 explained.

Some of the people who died were still alive when the pieces of the puzzle were beginning to form.

Eight years ago, in 2005, a pharmacist filed the first complaint with the Indiana Medicaid Fraud Unit against the Wagoners alleging "over prescribed medications." Patients Eric Reid 49ers Jersey say they watched people pay cash to the front desk, get their prescriptions and never see a doctor. In the court documents, those patients say the doctors regularly pre signed blank prescriptions leaving them at the front desk. That against federal law.

Amy Peak, a pharmacist and director of Drug Information Services at Butler University says it "absolutely" crosses the line. I Team http://www.official49ersnflauthentic.com/WOMENS-ANTOINE-BETHEA-JERSEY.html 8 asked her professional judgment on some of the prescriptions outlined in the probable cause affidavit.

Peak called it "unsafe, unethical and illegal." Eric Reid Authentic Jersey

In her opinion, specific drugs listed in the court documents raise concerns. For example, court documents noted 360 oxycodone pills being prescribed in one case.

Peak said that isn normal.

"You can go to a different CVS even though it is a CVS. You have to go to that exact pharmacy Carlos Hyde 49ers Jersey on that exact road, Angela said.
