Rush Limbaugh's Attorney Issues Statement

Roy Black, Rush Limbaugh's attorney, released the following statement today regarding the Florida Supreme Court's 4-3 decision not to review Mr. Limbaugh's appeal of an earlier split decision by a three-judge panel of Florida's Fourth District Court of Appeal:

"I have said from the start that there was no violation of the doctor shopping statute, but that Rush Limbaugh should not have to give up his right to privacy in order to prove his innocence.

  "Mr. Limbaugh appropriately sought treatment for severe back pain and for pain from an operation to restore his hearing. He has not been charged with a crime, and he should not be charged. His medical records will show that he received legitimate medical treatment for legitimate medical reasons.

"Only those who have suffered the long-term agony of chronic, severe pain will understand what Mr. Limbaugh was going through and why the appropriate medical treatment for his pain was so important.

"There were clearly important issues at stake in this case for every medical patient in Florida. This is evident in the 4-3 split decision of the Florida Supreme Court, the 2-1 split decision of the Fourth District Court of Appeal, and the amicus briefs filed in the case by the Florida Attorney General, the American Civil Liberties Union, the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, the National Foundation for the Treatment of Pain and the Florida Pain Initiative."
