Dr. Watts is the doctor for the football team. After Demon injures his leg during a game, Dr. Watts prescribes him a regiment of painkillers that leads to Demon becoming addicted to opioids. Later in the novel, Demon learns that Dr. Watts is the doctor at a pill mill, a kind of pain management clinic that will write prescriptions for anyone who pays for one. When Dori goes to Dr. Watts to get him to write an opioid prescription after her father Vester has died, he tells her that he’ll write one if she has sex with him. Dori refuses, and Demon is furious at the doctor for trying to exploit her.

Mr. McCobb was big on idea for making that little bit extra to turn things around, and had tried most of them: selling Amway, breeding AKC pups with fake papers, human advertisement, sperm donor, etc. Plus buying lotto tickets, obviously. His newest idea was taking in a foster. If I went okay, they might take in two, for twice the cash. It didn’t hurt my feelings. Creaky made no bones about wanting that five hundred a month per head. I knew the score.
