For those of you who are interested in the story of Louchette’s friend, Dean, I’ve been contacted by someone who’s in a position to know something about Steve Saleh. According to my source, Saleh’s attending physician is well known in the gay community in DC as a “prescription pad with legs.” Apparently, this individual prescribed a variety of pain medications for Mr. Saleh, including some that may have serious interactions with the HIV drugs that Mr. Saleh takes, and also didn’t refer Mr. Saleh to a specialist for his neurological condition.
Appended in the email are links to a couple of online reviews of escorts whose services Mr. Saleh has utilized, having found them through a site called rentboy.com. I’m not going to link them here, but let’s just say they support Mr. Saleh’s reputation as an “insatiable bottom.” Why the physician seems not to have been questioned with regards to his apartment pharmacopeia, I don’t understand.
I don’t really know what an “insatiable bottom” is. I think I’ll remain ignorant.
It’s pretty much what you have already thought it is, Carin.
Today I’ve discovered that you can read “insatiable bottom,” but you cannot unread it. Great.
No, I’m not thinking about it at all.
caulk might could help
What do you think that does for my coffee & donut(s)?
Does it do anything for your frank and beans is a better question, serr8d. NTTAWWT.
dan, thank you again. whatever some may think about the people involved, there are still two families (and a lot of friends) suffering because of the not sufficiently explained deaths of these men. their lives were no more or less valuable than mr. wone’s. and those families and friends also have to contend with not having sufficient answers, about what happened and about what happened to these cases once they were in ‘the system,’ whoever is to blame. the whole situation with the DC police and justice and court system makes me so mad i could scream.
and dan, have a great time on your vacation. <3
apologies, for typo fail above.
I think Dan’s point is double standards and PC attitudes have resulted in some pretty bad things happening.
Happyfeet – Caulk?! Caulk?! Oh, good Allah, thank you for happyfeet.
I’m just trying to imagine how insouciant my local constables would be if they had carted two dead, sodomized gay guys out of my house within a week with enough Oxycontin in them to anesthetize a small town. Something really reeks here.
Oh, and ‘feet, you owe me a keyboard. The monitor’s salvagable.
Mr. Saleh has echoes of the movie character Martin Von Essenbeck. A politically protected sexual predator.
btw dan… this isn’t a complaint or a criticism, more like just my opinion or maybe a question. anyway, i don’t think you need to put my moniker in the title of every post about this. i loved the guy a lot, and this whole thing just hurts and breaks my heart. but the story isn’t about me. you know? FWIW.
I like this louchette person.
dammit, i am actually not in the title this time, but in the body. sloppy reading on my part this morning. anyway, point stands. not a story about me. i guess it makes me feel… i don’t know… strange to keep seeing my moniker on the front blog like i am part of it. i just want the focus on the victims, and what is going on with the system.
That is precisely why I like this louchette person …
Why the physician seems not to have been questioned with regards to his apartment pharmacopeia, I don’t understand.
Because it’s a dead end and wast of time for the cops. As far as the doctor is concerned it is business as usual. He’ll clam up, cite confidentiality, and ‘explain’ that he’d be happy to help as soon as the cops get a warrant. Said warrant being almost impossible to obtain when the ‘victim’ (the prescription gobbling patient) is actually a willing participant in the game. As long as he keeps it to a dull roar the Board of Medicine will not get involved either – pain management is a tremendous hot button issue.
I don’t care where in America you choose, if you go talk directly with the local law enforcement they will tell you -off the cuff- just who the local Dr. Feelgoods are.
Rarely are these people ever called to account for the harm they do – in the cases I’ve seen it usually requires more than a few bodies and multiple complaints to the Board of Medicine – coupled with a lot of legal discovery from wrongful death suits (those people get medical records long before the cops ever do.) Even then, in the cases I have direct knowledge of, they get their license back in a few years and eventually resume their ways.
I hope Axelrods “new era of receptivity” doesn’t mean America is now an insatiable bottom. http://is.gd/txhO

What I’ve been wondering is whether that fibromyalgia business is a thing or just a grabbag of symptoms not amounting to a thing (not that I’m sure anyone has a handle on it anyhow)? Whichever it is, I then wonder about the nexus of such pain as can command retirement with full disability and having good old rough and tumble asexual (anal) intercourse and the expected pain due to fibromyalgial attendant to it.
louchett. They were fortunate to have a friend like you. I hope there is some justice for these unfortunate people, but I’m afraid it may be a long time coming.
thanks rusty. i didn’t know the second man tho, jeremy conklin. but i still feel for his family too, for their loss and grief. still hope someday they’ll get some answers, maybe even some justice.
the whole situation with the DC police and justice and court system makes me so mad i could scream.
