Awww. Dr, Stuart–Big Heart–Weisberg, who wants to open up an assisted suicide clinic in which one can off themselves to the strains of beautiful music with Weisberg and his therapy dog at their sides for $5000, has had his license to practice suspended. From the story:
A Portland psychiatrist who plans to open a private facility where people could end their lives under Oregon’s assisted-suicide law was suspended from medical practice Thursday amid a second investigation for improperly prescribing drugs. The Oregon Medical Board voted 8-0 to suspend Stuart G. Weisberg, 37, a solo practitioner in Northwest Portland specializing in treating addictions…In 2006, the board gave Weisberg a five-year reprimand for improperly prescribing psychoactive drugs to seven patients who were recovering drug addicts or suffering chronic pain. Last year, the board lifted the reprimand but put Weisberg under the watch of another doctor. Haley said Thursday the “practice mentor” recently informed the medical board that Weisberg had terminated the relationship. The board learned that during the mentoring, Weisberg had wrongly authorized a medical-marijuana card for a drug addict and had improperly prescribed a different drug for another patient.
Swell guy. The suspensions do not appear to involve his proposed Dignity House. Looks like the limited liability companies may just have to wait.

Heh. There is a God, and occasionally he succeeds in moving people to do the right thing. Perhaps the drug addicts paid by cashier’s check…

Lydia: Maybe there is a God or maybe there isn’t, but of this you can be sure: some other doctor will pick up the idea and run with it. That’s good ol’ American entrepreneurship for you, the stuff that made America great. Isn’t it wonderful to know that the spirit of innovation is alive and well, even if the business’ customers may not be? Of course if I were shelling out several thou to make an exit in style I’d want a live performance of the Schubert C-major Quintet, not just some pianist playing “Autumn Leaves.”
