Over-prescribing Causes Deaths of Patients

New York doctor accused of over-prescribing a combination of drugs known as the "Holy Trinity" — a dangerous cocktail of an opioid painkiller, an anti-anxiety pill and a muscle relaxer — has been indicted in the death of two patients.

Dr. Lawrence Choy, 65, is charged with 231 counts ranging from manslaughter to the criminal sale of prescriptions. He was arrested in March at a house in Sheboygan, Wis., where officials say he moved once he realized he was under investigation.

"After 30-plus years in law enforcement I never thought I'd see the day where doctors and drug dealers were interchangeable," James Hunt, the special agent in charge of the Drug Enforcement Administration in New York, said in announcing the charges.
