DUI/DWI
As a practicing alcoholic, the entire backdrop of my life was covered in secrecy and shame. When I was charged with a DUI, the facade that I had been working so hard to maintain was completely ripped away. So abruptly, the jig was up and everyone at once knew the truth about me. On one hand the exposure was life-saving and I even felt a sense of relief. On the other hand I felt devastated. The hand cuffs; backseat of a police car; drunk tank, were just the beginning. The next morning and for weeks after, as the dominos kept falling; as the extent of my deceit gave way to the light, my family and friends became more and more hurt, disgusted and dismayed. I felt completely alone... there was not a thing that I could say or do to explain or fix the situation. All that I could think to do was to throw myself into AA.

Computers and computer records: These can be seized and used as evidence. Just because you “erased” something does not mean that it can not be retrieved from your hard drive.

Our son was injured when he punctured his arm on the job. It formed a blood clot at the injury; which admittedly was painful. The doctor he was referred to, immediately and recklessly put him on a regimen of huge doses of Oxycontin (a powerful, time-released opiate drug) to manage his pain. Within two months, our son had become hopelessly addicted to the medication. When the injury got better and the Workers Compensation insurance ran out, the doctor abruptly cut off the narcotics without counseling for or concerns about substance dependence. Workers Compensation would not pay for drug treatment.
