Prepared remarks of Alen J Salerian MD before the US Congress , Committee On
My
Dear And Honorable Congressmen
I speak to you from
Athens Greece ,home of
Hippocrates.
My apologies for not appearing in person. I thank you for the privilege to share my observations about our war on
drugs and doctors.
A hurricane went through my life
on Marche 2011 when a small army of armed men of my
government raided my
house in Bethesda Maryland and office In Washington D.C.. They claimed I was a drug
dealer.. The charges against me
were dropped in April 2016.
Until
March 2011 I had enjoyed a privileged life as a
psychiatrist , and as the former
director of MPERT- FBI. Over many decades I had taught at the George Washington
University School of Medicine, treated some 10.000 patients and
authored many scholarly books .
In retrospect I was naive and foolish.
For ,I thought my record as a conscientious physician would spare me from the DEA.
Nether my humanitarian work as the president of Doctors For
People With
Physical And Mental
Pain nor my credentials as an
expert reviewer for New
England Journal Of Medicine on pain nor authoring an editorial for CNS
Spectrum a prestigious neuropsychiatric
journal mattered.
Here comes the most painful part of my DEA
journey including
bankruptcy , imprisonment solitary confinement and rape in a federal prison
in Butner North Carolina .
12 sudden deaths including my attorney and many other innocent souls.
Yes 7 patients died because the DC Department of Health shut
down my
practice by a summary suspension
of my DEA license in April 2012.
Emergency hearings were held in
the summer of 2012. The honourable DC
Administrative Judge John Green never ruled on the lawfulness of
the
summary suspension of my DEA
Licence which shut down my
practice ,and led to my bankruptcy
and the office closure .
My dear
congressmen ,
may I now I
frankly share my observations and and also raise
several
questions ?
In the
spirit of honesty I feel Judge Green , Dr
Watson and other members of the DC Board Of Medicine are morally responsible for the
sudden deaths of Solange Macarthur, Deborah Sypert , Joseph Nasser, Philip
Pruix ,Paul Mullins and two other patients of mine.
I also believe dirty tricks were
responsible for the deaths of my
attorney Kevin
Byers and
my fellow board member Siobhan
Reynolds and my colleague
Dr
John Mirczak ?
We Americans have a major problem with some 80 million of us living with chronic pain ? Car
accidents, wars, industrial accidents or
psychiatric disorders explain why so many of us are in need of prescription pain medications .
I believe
our ow war on drugs have caused an
epidemic of deaths from overdose and suicides.?
I
believe our current laws that treat doctors as drug
dealers are very wrong ,terribly wrong.
Are winds from Senator McCarthy era or
from our tragic lynch mentality
past visiting us today ?
No American-patient or doctor
-should endure what my patients, associates
and family members have experienced.
Thank you
Alen J
Salerian MD
