What Happened
The Maryland Board of Physicians summarily suspended a physician assistant's certification after determining that public health, safety, or welfare required emergency action.
The basis included, among other things, an allegation of unauthorized prescribing of Schedule II narcotics to family members.

Summary suspension
Why It Matters for Diversion Programs
This entry comes from a primary source rather than a federal enforcement release, and it is recorded as reported: alleged unauthorized prescribing of Schedule II narcotics to family members, cited as part of the basis for an emergency public health and safety action. Board and news records are a lagging indicator - by the time a licensing authority or a reporter learns of a diversion, the diversion was normally detected internally first, which makes each entry a signal that inventory reconciliation, waste observation or dispensing oversight failed earlier.
