Report this Dr. to the medical board.  Immediately.  And then turn your focus to your sister because as you know, she needs help.  She's lucky to have a sister like you.

Good luck to you.

You can also try to talk your sister into switching doctors.

I believe you can file a complaint with local police and then they will turn it over to DEA for a formal investigation.  This is certainly nothing to mess around with, these doctors must be held accountable.  Good luck.
