I find it especially hilarious that Dr. Steve is being pulled down into the mud by Nick and he does not even realize how damaging all the shit he is saying is.
Karmic justice for attending NAMBLAmania I guess. That will teach Dr. Steve to not hang out with fat hunchbacks in the future.
I have zero sympathy for Dr. Steve. My gut tells me he's a pill mill doc. Not simply because he's in palliative medicine with a practice in Appalachia (pill mill capitol of the world), but also because he is a dabble fag and left the Plaza to go introduce himself to Ethan Ralph.
I've seen what these people do to rural white communities in Appalachia. They walk around with moral superiority when they're nothing more than glorified heroin dealers. They ruin entire towns, destroy entire families...but it's big business. A lot of people make a lot of money off of the cycle. The jails pimp the women out for sex work, and the men for hard labor. The treatment centers are nothing but ways to scam Medicaid, never really helping so that cycle just continues all over again.
An example of such a town would be the one where the Sheriff shot the judge in his chambers. That's an example of a town first damaged by the coal company killing their cattle ranchers, then pulling out leaving nothing but toxic mountain scars and unemployment. Then the pill mills come in like vultures. That's why Appalachia is in the top spots in the country for sex trafficking and drug running.
There was a big operation a few years back to clean up these operations in KY, mostly motivated by the Medicaid fraud. The government doesn't really give a shit until you start stealing from them. Word is they just moved over to the other side of the Mountain, across the border in Virginia.
Fuck doctor Steve. When I saw him go out of his way to shake the hand of Ethan Ralph, I knew exactly what he was about.
