Posted about 5 years ago I am not a nurse yet ( just determined to be one ). A former Dr. of mine , I found out is writing oxycontin to his attorney's girlfriend ( a former OR nurse- she is so strung out she can no longer practice.He is also writing Rx's to her Aunt and Uncle , wealthy truck line owners who in exchange give him season football tickets. The nurse is not even married to the guy she lives with - he just told his emplyoyer they were and they added her to his policy without proof or any questions.Any time I see her she is nodding out , then gets in her car and drives away. I am terrified for hers and other's safety. I heard from another Nurse that he has two investigations going on, but none from the DEA. What should I do ???? Where should I report first ???? Is there any way to report this anonymously , I fear retaliation for myself and young son. P.S. The nurse's 20 year old daughter is also an addict. |

| Posted about 5 years ago Do you have proof? This is part of the problem, you can report on hearsay, but not sure if you get anywhere without absolute proof. I'd notify the police, tell them what you observed, you can contact the DEA also. Anonymous tips are usually welcome |

| Posted almost 5 years ago This is a very bad situation, I feel it needs to be reported. From what I'm hearing is that the dr. get major perks fir writting perscriptions to people who are addicts. This does need to be reported with proof. |

| Posted almost 5 years ago This is information I received from a police officer I know. Unless you have seen this first hand, have first hand knowledge of this situation, regardless of who you are, with no proof, you have nothing to offer the police department other than to alert them to this problem. He said they will take it seriously and chances are, the physician in question may already be under survelance. I advise you to do what you think is best. |
