STANTON, Del. (AP) - Three doctors at a Stanton pain clinic have been barred from prescribing opioids and other medications for at least six months after they were accused of improperly administering pain medication to a patient who later died of a heroin overdose.
The News Journal of Wilmington (https://delonline.us/2kuN1bz ) reports that Dr. Steven Grossinger, Dr. Bruce Grossinger and Dr. Jason Brajer were recently found to have repeatedly violated Delaware’s Uniform Controlled Substances Act. All three practice at Grossinger Neuropain Specialists and each now faces a $3,000 fine.
Officials found that the doctors refilled a 42-year-old patient’s prescriptions despite knowing he was a heroin addict. The patient fatally overdosed in December 2014.
In a separate action, the Delaware Board of Medical License and Discipline reprimanded the doctors, ordering that they each pay a $2,000 fine.
