What Happened
The Maryland Board of Physicians found that a respiratory care practitioner had impairment issues and took controlled dangerous substances (CDS) from a hospital's automated dispensing cabinet system without authorization.
The Board issued a reprimand and placed the practitioner on probation for a minimum of one year subject to terms and conditions.
What the Record Shows
Reprimand; probation for a minimum of 1 year subject to terms and conditions
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: Took CDS from a hospital's automated dispensing cabinet system without authorization amid impairment issues. 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.
