Charges related to "pill mill" operations dismissed and doctor returned to practice the following week.
After successful completion of the MCL 333.7411 program, the nurse will have no criminal conviction on her record. The nurse was able to maintain employment through this process and her nursing license was never suspended.
We received a letter within a few weeks indicating that the investigation was dropped by the Board of Nursing.
The State Medical Board determined that no adverse action was necessary.
The client was informed by the State investigator that the investigation was dropped without a Formal Administrative Complaint.
The dissolution of the summary suspension allowed us to have a greater bargaining position with the Board of Medicine and we were able to negotiate a consent agreement which would allow the Client to continue practicing under the supervision
We resolved the summary suspension and had the administrative complaint dismissed.
