What is a pill mill?

A: A "pill mill" is a term used to describe a doctor, pharmacist, pharmacy or clinic whose primary purpose is the distribution of narcotics for profit rather than a legitimate medical purpose. Prescription drug abuse and accidental overdose deaths have risen to epidemic proportions in the United States. Certain parts of the country, such as Southeast Texas, Florida and Nevada have suffered particularly hard from the prescription drug epidemic. "Pill mill" owners and operators are essentially drug dealers in white lab coats. Countless people have died unnecessarily due to the activities of these "pill mills". It will take a concerted effort of civil trial lawyers, law enforcement, medical and pharmacy boards and government agencies to combat the problem.
