A local psychiatrist charged with illegally prescribing drugs will have surgery before standing trial.
Her attorney said Dr. Wrenda Gallien has serious health problems and needs a liver transplant, which is why she hasn’t been to court.
Gallien is facing multiple felony and misdemeanor charges.
Investigators said a pharmacist tipped them off about Gallien prescribing Oxycontin, a powerful painkiller they said is routinely abused and sold on the street.
Judge Susan Gibson set a January trial date on Friday.

When a physician is arrested for leaving signed scripts is the day the whole medical industry needs to fold. Badgering ailing shrinks is far from criminal justice. I know the case; believe me, its a which hunt. The only black female shrink in town was tipped for leaving signed scripts for her nurse to fill while she was sick. Come on...this is no headline.
