Chua should have confronted patient about suspected drug addiction, doctor testifies

Grubb questioned the number of pain killers prescribed to Carter. The proper response to Carter's headaches, he said, would have been to confront the man about his addiction to pain killers and find a non-narcotic medication to treat the ailment.
Carter should have been admitted to a clinic for drug withdrawal, he said.
"There's ample evidence here this person was a suspected addict," Grubb said. "A physician has the obligation to confront [a patient]."
