Under substantial stress and pressure from work, our client, E.B., illegally issued prescriptions to themselves. E.B. responded to their conscience and self-reported to the Board. The Board notified the police, and criminal prosecution began. E.B enrolled in the Peer Recovery Network and went to drug treatment for ninety days. After completing treatment, E.B. secured a very favorable plea deal in their criminal case.
After defending E.B. at an informal conference, the Board proposed that E.B. be placed under probated suspension, to settle the matter. E.B. faced revocation at the outset of the case, so they were elated to resolve the case with a settlement that permits them to continue working.
