Firefighter Sues Doctor After Stealing Pain Medication From Dying Woman

A former Lincoln, Nebraska firefighter was arrested for stealing a dying woman’s pain medication. The firefighter is now suing his doctor claiming that the doctor failed to exercise reasonable and ordinary care in prescribing the drugs.

The firefighter alleges that the doctor prescribed nearly 1,500 pain pills, including oxycodone and hydrocodone, over a period of 17 months. The lawsuit asks for compensation for personal injuries, future medical treatments, and lost wages.

Allegedly, the addition became so severe that the firefighter resorted to entering the home of a cancer patient after responding to a 911 call there and stealing a bottle of hydrocodone.
