This I agree with. A doctor should not be allowing someone to get that far. To me, it is a violation of the Hippocratic Oath.
Unethical and illegal. If the doctor is supplying him knowing the reasons, he should at the minimum be put on some sort of probation. Investigate whether his license should be yanked.
