Starting her career as a family practitioner and then working for a while at Gulf South Medical Consultants, Jacqueline opened her own office in a high-crime area in New Orleans. Her office, as was discovered later, was just a front for a ‘pill mill.’

Jacqueline, in exchange for some hefty amoung, used to prescribe the addictive medical drugs for non-medical reasons. Through her shady business, Jaqueline was assumed to have amassed the net worth of millions of dollars.

She was exposed by a Louisiana pharmacist, Dan Schneider, who suspected of foul play after he found too many prescriptions for the addictive drugs all coming from the same doctor, one Jacqueline Cleggett.

Previously, Dan Schneider’s young son was killed in a drug deal gone wrong but the authorities didn’t seem very concerned about giving justice to Dan’s son. So, Dan took matters into his own hands and started to investigate the drug problems in Louisiana.

Having his senses heightened by the investigation, Dan Schneider noticed an increased number of OxyContin prescriptions, and all from the same doctor, Jacqueline Cleggett. That couldn’t be right. Dan, then started to investigate Doctor Jacqueline Cleggett.

Netflix‘s The Pharmacist is a documentary that chronicles Dan Schneider’s fight against the drug problems in Louisiana and one Jacqueline Cleggett.

Where Is Jacqueline Cleggett Now?

After Dan exposed Jacqueline Cleggett, DEA conducted a lengthy investigation on her. In a raid on her house, the authorities found enough evidence of her misusing her place as a doctor. They found pre-signed prescription slips, numerous addictive drugs, and haphazard patient charts.

After she was found to be misusing her profession, Jacqueline’s medical license was revoked and was hit by several lawsuits by the former patients, which almost emptied her net worth. By 2004, Jacqueline had gone bankrupt and had to sell her house, take her children out of the school, dropped her health insurance.

Jacqueline’s misfortune hit its pinnacle in 2006 when she had a terrible car accident that left her partially paralyzed. Around that time she was attempting to reapply for her medical license. But the brain injury put an end to her efforts, making her unable to reenter the medical profession for the rest of her life.
