What Happened
The Board determined that emergency action was required based on a radiation therapy technologist’s diagnosis of drug dependency for addiction, failure to follow up with outpatient treatment for addiction, continuing to obtain prescription pain medicine, and forgery of prescriptions in both her own name and other names.
The Board summarily suspended the technologist’s certificate.

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: forged prescriptions in her own name and in other names to obtain prescription pain medicine. 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.
