I took care of these patients.
I gave them IV iron.
It caused a ruckus.
I got put on the radar of somebody that did not like that.
So this is a budget.
The whole state gets a budget for how much you're going to spend on each patient.
I mean, by expensive, it was like $350 per person.
That's not that expensive.
But it was, and nobody else was doing it.
And I got a sticky note inside an envelope from the state capitol.
Stop doing Cadillac medicine.
Oh, they call it Medicaid fraud.
They thought I was wasting Medicare's numbers because I was giving IV iron.
And I said, no, I didn't bill for it.
I paid for it.
And when I paid for the medicine for these impoverished patients, they said, well, that's Medicaid fraud.
So the government tried to sue me for that and they lost.
But now they're ticked off.
They've brought me to court and they lost.
And what happened next is a lot worse.
