SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California's attorney general said Wednesday that he is charging a Northern California doctor with killing four patients by overprescribing opioids and narcotics, crimes he linked to the nationwide opioid epidemic.
Keller's defense attorney, John Cox of Oakland, said his client is a longtime pain management doctor, and several of his patients killed themselves and another died of an accidental drug overdose. They say he prescribed Vicodin, oxycodone, OxyContin, Percocet, and morphine at levels well beyond accepted medical practice.
