Judge Allows Subpoenas of Limbaugh Doctors

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Prosecutors can subpoena Rush Limbaugh's doctors as part an investigation into whether the conservative radio commentator illegally bought painkillers, a judge ruled Monday.

Judge David F. Crow ruled that Florida laws do not prevent doctors from talking with prosecutors if the discussion is relevant to the prosecution of a crime.

The decision gave prosecutors permission to subpoena doctors and their staff, but it also protected confidential material in Limbaugh's medical records. The judge noted that Florida law prohibits the discussion of a patient's medical condition and information disclosed by a patient during treatment.

Prosecutors and an attorney for Limbaugh both said they benefited from the ruling.

Ol' Rushbo is in for it now!

and his client is still screwed.

Pass the drinks.

when multiple doctors all take the stand and testify writing prescriptions but not realizing he had already gotten scrips from the other docs.

This is going to be interesting. Doctor shopping like this is a crime. Usually the DEA picks it up when they compile scrip lists from pharmacies to see who's out there cashing multiple scrips from multiple doctors.

I guess they don't think anybody in Palm Beach is tacky enough to be a drug addict.

Not very Christian, I know. But I can't help it.

:popcorn:

to give you such a victory so near his birthday.

not holding my breath though.

Funny as hell, but not very nice.

snerk

More cowbell!!!!!

. . . just Bubba.

Judge Crow's decision prohibits the State from questioning Mr. Limbaugh's
physicians about "the medical condition of the patient and any
information disclosed to the healthcare practitioner by the patient in
the course of the care and treatment of the patient."

body guards. All life has required of his is that he waddle to his microphones and gibber about Democrats every weekday to his semi-literate audience.

He'll be unable to move.
