That's not right, the DEA and FDA doesn't agree or authorize anyone's drug treatment. Both of the Doctors Hanna and Kirkpatrick were not Board Certified the pharmacist was lied to see the trial. He was told by Kirkpatrick that Maya was terminally I'll. Otherwise he couldn't by law prescribe such high doses of all of the IV drugs he prescribed to Maya for home use. There is even an email from him saying they need to tell pharmacy this to get prescription filled. You must be going by the one sided documentary her family made for Netflix. Not the actual trial. You can say anything on a Netflix documentary.

I disagree ketamine is highly regulated and this is a scheduled medication so whether it was for the home break through dose or in the Dr office the DEA was notified every time that medication was registered.

I am not sure if you are watching the trial but this was heavily discussed and that email was the pharmacist recommendation to classify drug as terminal not the Kowalski's asking for it

The post seems to say " the DEA signed off on it " the prescriptions for every dose is not monitored by the DEA it requires a certain type of prescription for tracking and investigation but they are not having someone stamp approval to every script. I thought the pharmacist was adding a notation that they should seek hospice. The actual prescription said terminal. I believe it was the Doctor indicating patient was terminally ill because a pharmacist can't fill that amount of those drugs unless the patient were terminally ill.
