authorities describe as a brazen abuse of medical authority to fuel the illegal distribution of prescription drugs.<\/p>\n<p>Over a roughly three-month period in 2022, the physician allegedly wrote fraudulent prescriptions for highly addictive medications without ever examining patients, while his son found buyers and collected payments as part of the scheme, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).<\/p>\n<p>Authorities say the pair distributed a wide range of drugs, including those commonly known as Percocet, Adderall and Xanax.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Richard Taubman, a 71-year-old retired physician, and his 33-year-old son, Eric Taubman, surrendered Thursday to investigators with the Nassau County District Attorney\u2019s Office following an extensive, multi-year joint investigation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTheir alleged scheme to unlawfully distribute controlled substance prescriptions, placing profits above\u00a0public health, is not only reckless and dangerous, but unconscionable,\u201d DEA New York Enforcement Division Special Agent in Charge Farhana Islam said in a statement.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMedical professionals are entrusted with protecting patients\u2019 lives, not destroying them by exploiting them to addiction and harm.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><button class=\"button button--modal-trigger\"
