LOS ANGELES (AP) A California doctor dubbed "Dr. Feelgood" by a prosecutor for allegedly doling out tens of thousands of prescriptions to patients who didn't need them was charged with murder Thursday in the overdose deaths of three otherwise healthy young men.
Dr. Hsui-Ying "Lisa" Tseng was arrested after a lengthy probe that involved undercover work by drug enforcement agents who posed as patients to obtain prescriptions. She's charged with overprescribing methadone, Xanax, oxycodone and other drugs.
Affidavits on file with the Osteopathic Medical Board of California showed that young men typically came to Tseng's storefront office reporting they had neck, back or wrist pain. They said they had been to other doctors who gave them other opiates that weren't working. Investigators said she did only cursory exams, then gave them more drugs.
