Dr. Mitchell is a published medical author (see the Publications link above) and has lectured to both medical students and licensed physicians.   He most recently spoke about opioid dependence and prescription drug related death rates at the Florida Osteopathic Medical Association's annual convention on February 19th, 2010, in Weston, Florida.   See PDF file copies of his convention presentation LECTURE SLIDES (75 kilobytes - 36 pages) and Florida Department of Law Enforcement's statistics for 2004 to 2008 DRUG DEATHS (3342 kilobytes - 13 pages).

Dr. Mitchell has also tried to stop the pain medication "pill mill" epidemic that has been evolving in Florida over the past decade.   Twice he has submitted emergency rule proposals to his medical board - the Florida Board of Osteopathic Medicine - and both times the board has chosen to not act on his suggested rule proposals.   See PDF file copies of his proposed 2005 EMERGENCY RULE (33 kilobytes - 6 pages) and 2010 EMERGENCY RULE (63 kilobytes - 4 pages).

In July and August of 2005, Dr. Mitchell petitioned the American Civil Liberties Union (A.C.L.U.) to bring suit against the Florida Board of Medicine (M.D.) and the Florida Board of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) for their "failure to fulfill their duty to protect the public’s safety as dictated by Florida Statute 459.001 and 459.015."   He made these petitions on the basis that there was no "better way to deny people their civil liberties than to murder them."   He further stated that "the Florida medical boards have taken this concept one step further, allowing physicians to kill people for profit by dealing drugs under the guise of pain management."   The A.C.L.U. denied his petitions and refused to bring suit.   See a PDF file copy of his JULY 2005 A.C.L.U. PETITION (14 kilobytes - 2 pages) and his AUGUST 2005 A.C.L.U. PETITION (39 kilobytes - 1 page).

On August 19, 2009, Dr. Mitchell, at his own request, voluntarily testified before the Broward County State Attorney's Grand Jury Investigation into the pill-mill crisis in Florida.   The grand jury adopted nearly all of the recommendations he made, including restrictions on pain management clinic advertising, drug dispensing and patient volume.   See a PDF file copy of his GRAND JURY TESTIMONY NOTES (40 kilobytes - 2 pages) and the 2009 BROWARD GRAND JURY REPORT (409 kilobytes - 70 pages).

On February 28, 2010, Dr. Mitchell submitted comments to the American Psychiatric Association's Substance Abuse Work Group regarding the pending DSM-5 psychiatric diagnostic manual.   He recommended the addition of two conditions: pseudo-addiction from the under-prescribing of medically necessary medications, and pseudo-addiction from the over-prescribing of medically necessary medications.   Dr. Mitchell suffered from the former of these two conditions himself in the 1980's after an accident where he fractured the spinal column in his neck (see the Experience link above), and he now treats many people who suffer from both of these conditions.   See a PDF file copy of his comments on DSM-5 PSEUDO-ADDICTION (35 kilobytes - 2 pages).

On March 9, 2010, Dr. Mitchell mailed an application to the Governor of Florida requesting that he be appointed to the Florida Board of Osteopathic Medicine.   He made this request due to the ineffectual manner in which the board has dealt with drug-dealing physicians in our state during the past decade.   He is awaiting a response.   If you would like to support Dr. Mitchell's appointment to the Florida Osteopathic Medical Board, call the Governor's Appointment Office at 850-488-2183.   See a PDF file copy of his LETTER TO THE GOVERNOR (43 kilobytes - 1 page).

On April 3, 2010, Dr. Mitchell organized an effort to have Governor Charlie Crist declare a State of Emergency in Florida, and for him to issue a Gubernatorial Executive Emergency Order that would end the pill-mill crisis in our state.   Dr. Mitchell's proposal included the dismissals of both the current Florida Board of Medicine (M.D.) and the current Florida Board of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) for their failure to fulfill their defined mission statement to “promote, protect and improve the health of all people in Florida."   He also proposed that the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Attorney General of the United States conduct coordinated probes, with prosecution where applicable, into how the Florida State Government has handled this crisis during the past decade.   Unfortunately, Dr. Mitchell was unable to get any other physicians or lay people to join him as signatories on this proposal.   See a PDF file draft copy of his FLORIDA STATE OF EMERGENCY REQUEST (50 kilobytes - 4 pages).

On April 30, 2010, Dr. Mitchell, in the hope of exposing the Florida State Government's role in the Florida Pill-Mill Massacres wrote to Robert S. Mueller, III, the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, requesting that "In the name of all those who have wrongly died at the hands of physicians who have been allowed to unethically practice medicine in a lethal manner in Florida, I ask that you, the FBI, investigate and, if applicable, bring to justice all those in our state government who chose not to fulfill their sworn and prescribed duties to protect the people of Florida."   He mailed copies of this letter to Governor Crist, the Florida Department of Health, the Florida Board of Medicine, the Florida Board of Osteopathic Medicine, the United States General Attorney, the DEA, the Miami Herald and the Sun Sentinel (Fort Lauderdale, FL).   See a PDF file copy of his LETTER TO THE FBI (57 kilobytes - 3 pages).

On May 6, 2010, Dr. Mitchell received a response from Diane Orcutt, the Deputy Director of the Florida Department of Health's Division of Medical Quality Assurance, regarding his 04/30/10 letter to the FBI.   Her letter failed to satisfactorily address, and possibly obfuscated the issues raised in Dr. Mitchell's letter to the FBI.   Ms. Orcutt did not diminish nor ameliorate the need for a complete and thorough investigation into the Florida Government’s willful and negligent behavior in allowing the Florida-Pill-Mill Massacres to occur and continue for such a long time and at such an immeasurably high cost.   See a PDF file copy of the LETTER FROM DIANE ORCUTT (4456 kilobytes - 1 page).

On May 7, 2010, Dr. Mitchell responded to Diane Orcutt's letter of 05/06/10.   In his response, Dr. Mitchell stated that, "as our state government has acted in such a negligent fashion and blatantly failed to fulfill its mandate to protect all Floridians, I can see no reason why or how it can be trusted to answer in a truthful and meaningful manner for its behavior during the Florida Pill-Mill Massacres."   Dr. Mitchell is still seeking to have the FBI investigate the Florida State Government for its role in this massacre.   See a PDF file copy of his LETTER TO DIANE ORCUTT (54 kilobytes - 3 pages).

On July 09, 2010, Dr. Mitchell received a response from Mark W. Caverly, the Chief of the DEA's Office of Diversion Control Liaison and Policy Section, regarding Dr. Mitchell's 05/07/10 letter to Diane Orcutt (above).   Mr. Caverly's letter failed to provide any meaningful insight into the DEA's commitment to ending the Florida-Pill-Mill Massacres.   See a PDF file copy of the LETTER FROM MARK W. CAVERLY (1487 kilobytes - 2 pages).

On July 13, 2010, Dr. Mitchell responded to Mark W. Caverly's letter of 07/09/10.   In his response, Dr. Mitchell stated that, "Given the hideous number of people who have died in Florida this past decade during the Florida Pill Mill Massacres, I would have expected a more forthright and committed response from you.   Considering that the deaths documented in the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) Medical Examiner’s Report of Drugs Identified in Deceased Persons (available online) over this past decade surpass the total number of those killed in all of Mexico this past decade during their national drug war, you could have and should have done much better."   Dr. Mitchell is still seeking to have the FBI investigate the Florida State Government for its role in this massacre.   See a PDF file copy of his LETTER TO MARK W. CAVERLY (50 kilobytes - 2 pages).
