ATTENTION PUBLIC – On April 22, 2010 Pharmacies Across Chicagoland Have Been Notified By Officials That Mr. Joseph L. Giacchino, Jr., Is No Longer A Medical Doctor In Good Standing In The State Of Illinois

The following is a public service announcement:

WARNING – please be advised former patients of Mr. Joseph L. Giacchino, Jr. that any unfilled prescriptions that you have from Mr. Giacchino are officially invalid. Destroy them at once. Mr. Giacchino’s license has been suspended. Read about it here (this is a screen capture from the State of Illinois Division of Professional Regulation website).

Those of you that are in need of a new doctor’s office because of Mr. Joseph L. Giacchino’s self-destruction as a physician, please contact Loyola Hospital’s physician referral center at (708) 216-9000. In my opinion, Loyola Hospital contributed to creating the monster in Mr. Giacchino in the early 1980s when they decided to not report a serious crime committed by Giacchino to the proper authorities. I believe Giacchino’s crime was not reported because of the effect it would have on Loyola’s bottom line. Therefore, I feel Loyola Hospital deserves the experience of dealing with the recent medical concerns of Giacchino’s now former patients.

Approximately one-year ago Dr.Demorest resigned without notice from Mr. Giacchino’s clinics, most likely due to moral outrage over the dangerous patient abuses of his boss. In light of recent matters, it is obvious that Dr. Demorest made a very wise decision.

I would like to thank the authorities for finally stepping in and dealing with this situation. Hopefully this is just the first round in a slew of attacks against doctors that sell their patients pain medication.
