Comments about ‘Troubled plastic surgeon and fiancee found dead in Orem home’

If the good doctor had been in jail, the woman would still be alive.

This man has lead a life headed for tragedy for years now. It is unfortunate it ended this way and the judge failed to order this man to get the help he really needed.

If he had surrendered his medical license, why was he having professional appointments?

another painful reminder for significant others everywhere to be careful where you are found dead in.

His professional appointment may have been for himself as a patient. If we go down the road of preemptive incarceration we would need to ignore habeas corpus, build many more prisons and the ACLU would rightly go ballistic.

Sad that this deeply disturbed individual had to take someone else out.

Not sure what that means.

But anyway. This is another case of possibly a control freak loosing his control.
Lots of doctors have control issues. Lots

It seems that letting someone off for good behavior is a corrections issue. If he had to surrender his license for drug abuse then how could the State of Utah ensure he was actually in good behavior as he wasn't released. The Corrections people can't ensure a person in his professional status is in good behavior as they don't allow him to write his own prescription to ensure he is a good citizen and DOPL authorized to do so.

He appeared to be able to get drugs before he went to prison and that type of behavior for a person authorized to prescribe drugs for others needs to be changed as "good behavior" when he can't do it.

It is not good behavior when a person such as this Doctor was not proven to be good on the inside of prison. Everyone has to abide by those rules as he doesn't prescribe in prison.

That isn't the cause of both people's death but there is a problem with the corrections system for professionals to get off with good behavior. Lucy found out that the behavior hadn't changed since her 2011 phone call.
