According To The Illinois Department Of Professional Regulations, Porn Star Maria Luisa Gil-Giacchino Is Not The Only Woman Compelled To Give Her Husband Oral Relaxation

For those of you wondering about the true details behind the reason for the suspension of Joseph L. Giacchino’s Illinois medical license, I have some answers for you.

Information has come to the attention of the Illinois Department of Professional Regulations that Joseph L. Giacchino has allegedly issued and/or provided prescriptions for large quantities of various Controlled Substances, including but not limited to Norco, Vicodin and Xanax, to numerous patients of his medical practice without therapeutic purpose and without proper evaluations and/or examinations of the patients.

The Department has received information from a patient of Giacchino’s practice, patient G.K., indicating that Giacchino engaged in sexual activities with the patient during her office visits. In addition, the Department has received recorded conversation between Giacchino and patient G.K. revealing that Giacchino offered said patient free medications in exchange for oral sex.

Moreover, the Department received information from Naperville Police Department revealing that on February 17, 2010 that a patient of Giacchino, patient C.S. was arrested for possession of cannabis, possession of drug paraphernalia and various traffic violations. During the search of patient C.S.’s belongings, the prescription for Xanax 2 mg and Norco 10 mg/325 mg was located. Said prescription contained Giacchino’s signature and was dated February 24, 2010.

Several patients of Giacchino’s medical practice indicated that they were obtaining various controlled substances from Giacchino with intent to sell these controlled substances to other individuals.

The Departments investigation revealed that numerous local pharmacies have made complaints to the Department and/or DEA regarding Giacchino’s Controlled Substance prescribing habits.

Robert J. Schafer, M.D., the Deputy Medical Coordinator of the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulations, has been consulted regarding these matters and believes that the continued practice of medicine by Joseph L. Giacchino presents an immediate danger to the safety of the public in the State of Illinois.

The Department further alleges that the public interest, safety and welfare imperatively require emergency action, in that Giacchino’s continued practice of medicine constitutes an immediate danger to the public.

Gertrude M. Kelly, Acting Chief of Medical Prosecutions, called for the immediate suspension of Joseph L. Giacchino’s Physician and Surgeon License and Controlled Substance License pending proceedings before the Medical Disciplinary Board of the State of Illinois.
