"The accused dealers carried out similar schemes with alleged associates Elia Albanese and Carmine Russo to get oxycodone pills from a different Midtown Manhattan doctor, prosecutors said."
Did they get those pills those though? Who is the midtown Doctor? Really no details about Albanese and Russo here. They knew the street level dealers and had a conspiracy going to try to get Opiates from a different doctor than the article mentioned?
The other doctor was named and was specifically noted as actually giving the medications. It's Interesting that *that* doctor stayed away from the tried and true, and went for Adderall and CIII - CIV substances, even if a doctor is crooked most know that Oxy is too hot to get caught up in. There's an Adderall "shortage" right now because for the past 2 years it's been heavily overprescribed. Those Oxy pill mills are history and are long gone but there have always been Adderall ones around (including the newer ones via virtual telehealth apps) and I feel like we're going to start to see crackdowns on them. I know 2 places off the top of my head in Downtown Manhattan where you can go in, answer an 8 question "test" to see if you have ADD, and walk out with an Adderall script. Until NYS mandated electronic scripts - the doctor had nothing on his desk besides a phone and a prescription pad. Now it's just a laptop
