A doctor is being sued for overprescribing narcotics
“Robert Haskell of Orleans and Peter Haskell of Brewster filed separate medical malpractice lawsuits in Barnstable Superior Court this week alleging Dr. E. Robert Harned prescribed ”massive amounts” of opiate painkillers despite knowing that the brothers tried repeatedly to break their drug addictions.
They further allege that pharmacists employed by the supermarket chain negligently filled these prescriptions, even though at one point one of the brothers was getting up to 1,400 opiate-based pain pills on a weekly basis.”
