Jay Doctors Cleared Four Years After Federal, State Investigation Began
Two Jay doctors say they have been cleared of any wrongdoing, four years after their medical practice became the focus of a federal and state investigation and they were forced to surrender their licenses to prescribe narcotics.
Back in July 2011, the FBI, federal Drug Enforcement Agency, the Attorney General’s Office, the Florida Department of Health and Florida Department of Law Enforcement raided the Jay Medical Clinic Thursday as Florida Highway Patrol troopers stood guard outside the complex, which is located next to Jay Hospital. Federal and state agents seized patient records from Dr. C. David Smith and his son Dr. J. S. Michael Smith.
Now, Dr. David Smith says they have been cleared by the U.S. Attorney’s Office. He also said the pair will soon be able to get back their licenses to prescribe narcotics from the DEA.

The DEA can’t stop cocaine and heroin from flowing across our borders, but they can stop a doctor from practicing medicine in a single visit. It’s no wonder that they can’t catch the real criminals, they are too busy arresting doctors and getting it wrong. Where are they getting their intelligence from, the local strip clubs?
If a doctor or even a lawyer failed to do their job, they would be fired. Then if they were attempting to do their job and failed to get it right, they would lose their license. Maybe it’s time to fire these incompetent idiots. What do you think President Obama, could it be time to clean house?
Anybody say “sorry”?
