MEDICAL MALPRACTICE
Former Tennessee doctor charged with illegally issuing prescription medicine
October 15, 2008 -- Several traffic charges against a Tennessee doctor, who has already lost his medical license over medical malpractice charges, were bound over to the action of a Dyer County grand jury last week.
The former doctor operated a medical clinic in Tiptonville until 2004, when the clinic closed after government agents executed a search warrant and charged him with gross malpractice, incompetence and improperly issuing prescription medicines.
A federal grand jury indicted him in August 2007 on one count of conspiring to distribute Schedule II and Schedule III controlled substances and 47 counts of illegally issuing prescription medicine. His wife was also indicted on the conspiracy charge.
They are scheduled to appear in U.S. District Court in Memphis on Dec. 18.
