SAN JOSE — A South Bay radiologist has been arrested and charged by the California Department of Justice with conspiring with a network of phony patients to write illegal prescriptions — in some instances forging another doctor’s signature — to illicitly procure thousands of opioid painkillers, authorities said.
“Doctors are trusted with the immense responsibility of protecting our health and our lives,” state Attorney General Rob Bonta said in a statement. “When a bad actor exploits their position for personal gain, they not only shatter our trust, they harm vulnerable patients.” Deputy Attorney General Amy Bellah, who wrote the criminal complaint, chronicled in meticulous detail how Padidar allegedly prescribed 2,350 Norco pills to more than a half-dozen people, including his wife and father, on the agreement that he would receive some or all of the drugs.
