I am not proud, but thankful for the grace the DA offered us with the 30 month sentence. Today I AM SOBER!! I am no longer chained to that clinic as an imprisoned free man. There is nothing I can do to change the past, but I CAN AND WILL offer my sobriety to others who may need a word of encouragement. Life is good, its worth living, and opiate addiction is simply death. I choose to live and hopefully pass life on, God willing. My condolences to those who were hurt in any way considering this case, if I could go back and do it different for your sake, and your sake alone I would, but again I cannot.

She knew his history and yes he had a high tolerance for pain medications, and sure his pain was gone with all the meds she was giving him, but when they closed in March her suggestion was detox in hospital and she literally told us noone would touch him with a 10 foot pole. Why would that be? Did he not need all of these meds? Why, then were they being given to him? She may have helped people, but in our case she really hurt my father with her negligance. I hope she realizes what she has done. My father was a patient of the Payette Clinic and Kelly Bell.

Kelly did not prescribe that girl any medications as well the girl SMOKED a pill, that to me is 100% her own fault and the parents should be looked at for not watching their own child. Kelly is not a babysitter for someone who is not even her patient. This is ridiculious. I started seeing Kelly after a a severe car accident and other medical conditions that doctors would tell me i am to young and can deal with the pain. Kelly went above and beyond for me and found the problems with my back as well as a thyroid condition that was making me very ill, which no other doctor would give me but 4 mins in a room to say its in your head and then give you medications, if you want to complain about a woman who cares so much about her patients that she can tell you every family member name your pets names as well as your entire medical history with out looking....this woman is an amazing person and if you dont know her then you need to back off, focus on the kid that was obviously a drug addict and did it to her self. Kelly has a very strict policy on pain management and followed it strictly, the boy whom sold the medications should be charged not Kelly who is out there to help people!!! PLACE YOUR BLAME ON THE REAL PEOPLE WHO DID THIS, THE BOY NEEDS TO BE ARRESTED AND THE GIRL PAID HER PRICE FOR ABUSING DRUGS, THAT IS NOT KELLYS FAULT!! Its the daughters own fault!!

Too bad for those who are not. Right! Perhaps that is what is wrong with some of our healthcare issues. Places, like the PEOPLE, at the Payette clinic who has put our healthcare system at risk with there unsafe and unethical practices. She, they should be held liable for the less than standard care I and many other had recieved. You mentioned Mental health. Perhaps that would explain your inability to see the bigger real picture here. Seek a true professional my dear, I URGE you to do so. For your family, your loved ones. FOR YOURSELF.. Perhaps, just Perhaps, you will find some answers to your problems that would help you cope with lifes ups and downs with real professionals. I wish you good luck!. Dorothy:

Assuming that Kelly thought more about payouts and kicksbacks proves how naive you really are. The payette clinic offered services to patients who had no ability to pay.....free of charge. The mental health is this coutry is bad at best but Kelly Bell and Scott Pecora were willing to take on the task at times with no payment at all for people who were in distress and could not get into a prescriber anywhere in town! I personally took a friend there who was an established patient for primary care who had lost his insurance because he lost his job and they continued to treat his severe asthma without charge. Every Pain Patient at the clinic was put on a pain contract at the payette clinic. That means you the Patient had to be responsible for your health documenting and reporting how you feel and how well your pain is managed. It sounds to me as though you may have been negligent in sticking to your pain contracting therefore wanting to hold someone other than yourself responsible. You should be ashamed of yourself for wishing another human being to have a life filled with hell. I hope your Karma for your bitter heart will not be too severe. You should take some responsibility for what you put in your mouth and body. Medical health care professionals are not gods and they are not perfect that is why they call what they do PRACTICING.... They are practicing on us !! Next time I suggest you take a more proactive approach in dealing with your health issues and concerns if you agree to let people who are practicing , practice on you without you imput feedback or participation then dont complain. Kelly.... if she did really say it and for me its questionable... that there are alot of "drugs" out there would only be a statement of truth in that she had like 900 patients (and not all of them were pain patients). How you could see that as an admission of guilt again shows how naive you are. You would do well for yourself to remain silent on the issue lest you look more like and idiot and less like a victim. Take some responsibilty for your life and your healthcare! You took what was prescribed without question ,take responsibilty for your outcome and learn from it ! Tina Wright,

ARE you one those that I could tell was a DRUG SEEKER?. There is several ways to LEARN to tolerate the WHAT you call "Pain". I have learned, so could you. VALUE your life... Live long for your childrens children for your loved ones. SEEK a true professional. I URGE you. Narcotics are not the only way!.The amounts and dosages were over the top. Think about it?.The amount of meds that was handed out was HORRIBLE. They are NOT CAMPASSIONATE PEOPLE. She had a moral and LEGAL obligation not only to her PATIENTS but to the federal goverment to do what was right for all. NOT to LED US ALL down unsafe and unethical roads. If you are truly a person in PAIN then your exrays mri's other information would of reveiled it. The professional that you speak about that turned you away, was SMART, before you make JUGDEMENT on me, WAlk in my shoes. Did you Watch my life go down the drain like my family had to? Terrible things were happening to me, and we told Kelly, she did nothing but upped ONLY the NARCOTICS. WHY?. I know what Kelly did to me, and It was immoral!!!! Stick and stones my dear, it don't make what happened go away. I will pray for you. Carla, It sounds like you are upset at the fact that I spoke the TRUTH.

Just when it started to dawn on the medical world that pain control is essential for the total well-being of the chronic pain patient, we have crap like this happen and are set back years and years. I have a minumum of 3 conditions that will cause me increasing pain for the rest of my life. Do you want me just to go to bed, withdraw from the world, depressed beyond all measure? Sure, your body becomes habituated, not addicted as is the popular myth if you have real pain. There is a real difference. If you go off of any pain med you MUST go very, very slowly or you WILL have withdrawal symptoms. That's just a medical fact. Sure, there are MD's out there who just throw pain meds willy nilly at people who are really drug seekers, but those of us who suffer every minute of every day know the misery of having to go without narcotics to at least be able to function. I do not believe for a minute that the Payette Clinic deserves the public and legal ostricism they have recieved. I find them kind, caring, spending way more time with me than any MD I have seen before, and trying everything they can to help alliviate the horrible pain I suffer. To those of you making judgements...I wish you could walk a mile (or try to) in our shoes, and I would bet you'd change your tune. Shame on this last woman who wants Kelly to go to hell. Karma IS a bitch, lady, and I'll guess your bitter angry soul will be heaped upon. (you also might find a spelling class benficial....makes YOU look dumb, not the other way around) Compassion is all we are asking for, and the right to participate in life.

I was put on lethal doses of oxycotin, oxycodone, & methadone. not to metion all the other meds she ( Kelly Bell ) put me on with out the proper testing. My last visit with Kelly Bell was in March of 2009, right after they got raided. I was the last person in the office, that night, we went into the office she sat down I asked her just what has happened? She put her hands into her face and said " F*** there is alot of drugs out there". Now to me she just admitted guilt. I had put my faith into the Dr. who referred me to them. Not knowing that Kelly Bell thought more of the kick backs and personal payouts, than she did of her patients. she has accomplished making thousands of people into JUNKIES. I went through horrific withdrawls not to metion my husbands withdrawls to lethal doses of methadone. This women should be arrested and put through what we all had to go through. HELL.!!! She did not have the best interested of us all. she was a gready person who did not care what she did to all of us. The only care she had was to fill her pockets with DRUG money. without concern to the patients best interest. In my opinion we all should stand together and make her take responsiblity for what she has done to us. The people. Let's see if she would take the doses she prescibed to us and then make her go through withdrawls like we had to. She is a very selfish person. Kelly! I hope and I pray that your life is filled with HELL. The hell that you put us all through. Karma is a bitch. and it don't forget. I was a referred patient to the payette clinic.

It is sad that this girl died, but she killed herself no one killed her! She commited at least 3 felonies that night! first one was when she sought out the medication, she looked for it purposely, no one offerd it to her! Second was when she purchased the medication, an act that anyone her age knows is illegal! Third was when she shared the medication with two of her friends, that is contributing, and they were minors! I find the allegations against Payette Clinic unfounded for any legal action at all! I hope when they go to court the father gets laughed out of the court room by the judge! How are you going to file a wrongful death suit for someone who clearly knew what they were doing could kill them!!!!!! I agree with Dorothy!
