Yes, this is a sad story…I saw the special on 48 hours. However, I feel that everyone should be responsible for their own actions, even in death. Lesa Buchanan made some fatal decisions to continue a relationship with the Dr. Her daughter mentioned that he wouldn’t leave them alone when they tried to get away…did he place a gun to their heads? I would have filed a police report, or even relocated to keep myself and my daughter safe. The bottom line is that Lesa is responsible as much as the Dr. I am appauled that the Dr. is still allowed to practice at all. Whether he administered the drugs or not, he was being unethical by providing the. I am a current biomedical student, and I never plan to use drugs for anything other than curing a patient. I am blogging b/c I feel that Dr. Koulis IS responsible for not behaving as a Dr. having taken the hippocratic oath. However, Lesa is responsible in my opinion: not for being a drug user (if she was) or for being involved in deviant sex. I feel she is responsible for not severing all ties when she realized what a monster this guy is. When are we going to learn that titles such as Doctor or lawyer doesn’t equal loyal, honest and trustworthy. Hell, the title, “Priest” doesn’t even equal trustworthy anymore.
I wisht the best to Lesa’s family and daughter, but they need to stop blaming everyone else, and realize that she is partially responsible. Just b/c someone dies, doesn’t make them unaccountable for their actions.

ifebossert,
You have obviously never been the victim of domestic violence. You asked if he placed a gun to their heads – how insulting to victims of domestic violence to imply that this is their own fault. There is no need for a gun when domestic violence is involved. Most times, it is the threat of violence that can hold a victim (male or female) hostage in a relationship. Do not blame her for this. You make it sound like it is so easy. Try it and see how easy it is. Wak a mile in her shoes before condemning her.

Dr. Koulis is a bad toupee wearing creep. I know people need to take responsibility for their actions, but he was an MD, and he gave her the means. I do hope the family sue him for wrongful death. People tend to blame the victim…If he was not an MD, the story may have “washed better”!!! Well, at least he will not be able to wear his toupee in the joint!!! When I was arrested, they took my hairpiece….

I am a recovering addict and no longer a victim of any domestic violence but I do firmly agree that everyone has to be responsible for their own actions. There are good and bad choices and you have to make the good ones. Prescription drugs are extremely dangerous and the disease of addiction is a very cunning situation. I was able to keep my addiction to oxycontin and many other opiotes a secret from my family for about 10 years. When things got really bad and I was broke it was then my family learned of the problem but to Lesa’s dismay she had a regular supplier in her home and had many plastic surgery’s and an unhealthy relationship to boot, oh and also several years for this addiction to become aggressive. My addiction started from a simple shoulder injury and a doctor that had no probelm writing prescriptions at my request eventually your body requires the narcotics to function. The point, being addicts that are active will never be truthful. The doctor, I hope no longer is a Dr., and Lesa could not be believed until she or they are ready to get and stay clean. It is like a crackhead going to a crack dealer and buying drugs and dying and the family and our judical system charging the drug dealer with murder, when that adult made the decision to put poison in his/her own body. Our judical system should be prosicuting for illegal drug distribution, and that Dr. also took and oath to remain ethical, which he didn’t that is the true crime.
Although deeply saddened for the family and especially the daughter of Lesa for the result of this tragedy. We all should learn this one thing from this that sometimes the people that we truly love most we don’t always know their deepest darkest secrets. These people, that are addicts share that part of themselves with others that most of the time aren’t worthy and sometimes it is to late when we find out. Hang on to the our loved ones and don’t keep secrets and don’t pass judgement, just listen.

This POS needs to die. Arrogant little man. I PRAY that someone does the right thing and remove this piece of trash from the living.

I doubt if she would have stayed with the dude if he had been a street cleaner no matter how persuasive and attractive her was. She was always looking to get somewhere and probably saw him as a good goldmine to tap. She made her own destiny and stuck with him for the $$$ and the free boob jobs and lip and botux and unfortunately for her the price was a bit higher than she expected. Bottom line is she was no better than a hooker and occasionally they get killed by their clients or pimps.
anyway that is the end of her short and uneventful life apart from appering in a sex vid that made a few old jurors happy.

I HATE drugs. I have never understood what the attraction is for drugs.
And, hey, Trevor – nice way to trash the victim. You apparently have some real issues with women. Maybe you should seek professional help for your problem.

Funny how the daughter said right after it happened on the news how she didnt think Dr Chris did it on purpose and she changed her story. Dr Chris was my doc and was considered one of the up and comeing best plastic surgerons around,,how sad what drugs can do to you,,oh,,,and the hair is real,,he just has bad hair
