What Happened
The Board found the physician guilty of unprofessional conduct and of willfully filing a false record, based on conduct including removing hospital supplies to administer a controlled dangerous substance intravenously to an addicted friend.
The physician then had the friend's blood tested and had the results filed under the name of another inpatient to conceal the diversion. The Board revoked the physician's license.

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: Removed supplies from a hospital to intravenously administer a controlled dangerous substance to an addicted friend, then arranged for the friend's blood to be tested with results filed under another inpatient's name to conceal the act.. 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.
