FINDING OF FACT

 

After having heard the testimony, observed the demeanor of the witnesses, considered the evidence, and weighed the credibility of each, the State Board of Pharmacy finds that James Scott Patton has complied with the terms set forth in the Order of the State Board of Pharmacy, Docket No. D-990714-001, effective July 17, 2000.

 

DECISION OF THE BOARD

 

On the basis of the Finding of Fact set forth above, and after consideration of the record as a whole, the State Board of Pharmacy hereby approves the reinstatement of the pharmacist identification card, No. 03-0-22165, held by James Scott Patton to practice pharmacy in Ohio and places James Scott Patton on probation for five years beginning on the effective date of this Order, with the following conditions:

 

 

(A) James Scott Patton must enter into a contract, signed within thirty days after the effective date of this Order, with an Ohio Department of Alcohol and Drug Addiction Services (ODADAS) treatment provider or a treatment provider accept­able to the Board for a period of not less than five years and submit a copy of the signed contract to the Board office before his pharmacist identification card is issued.  The contract must provide that:

 

 

(1)  Random, observed urine drug screens shall be conducted at least once each month for the first year and then at least once every three months for the remaining four years.

 

 

(a)  The urine sample must be given within twelve hours of noti­fi­ca­tion.  The urine drug screen must include testing for creatinine or specific gravity of the sample as the dilutional standard.

 

(b)  Ritalin and alcohol must be added to the standard urine drug screen.  A Breathalyzer may be used to test for alcohol, but an appropriately certi­fied individual must conduct the test within twelve hours of notification.

 

(c)  Results of all drug and alcohol screens must be negative.  Any posi­tive results, including those that may have resulted from inges­tion of food, but excluding false positives that resulted from medi­cation legiti­mately prescribed, indicate a violation of pro­ba­tion.

 

(d)  Refusals of urine screens or diluted urine screens are equiva­lent to a positive result and indicate a violation of probation.

 

 

(2)  The intervener/sponsor shall provide copies of all drug and alcohol screen reports to the Board in a timely fashion.

 

(3)  Attendance is required a minimum of three times per week at an Alco­holics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, and/or similar support group meet­ing.

 

(4)  The program shall immediately report to the Board any violations of the contract and/or lack of cooperation.

 

 

(B) James Scott Patton must submit quarterly progress reports to the Board (due January 10, April 10, July 10, and October 10 of each year of probation) that include:

 

 

(1)  The written report and documentation provided by the treatment pro­gram pursuant to the contract, and

 

(2)  A written description of James Scott Patton's progress towards recov­ery and what he has been doing during the previous three months.

 

 

(C)  Other terms of probation are as follows:

 

 

(1)  James Scott Patton must complete restitution to Kroger Co. N-341 and River­side Hospital, and provide written documentation to the Board before the end of his probation period.

 

(2)  The State Board of Pharmacy hereby declares that James Scott Patton's phar­macist identification card is not in good standing and thereby denies the privi­lege of being a preceptor and training pharmacy interns pursuant to paragraph (D)(1) of Rule 4729-3-01 of the Ohio Administrative Code.

 

(3)  James Scott Patton may not serve as a responsible pharmacist.

 

(4)  James Scott Patton may not destroy, assist in, or witness the destruc­tion of controlled substances.

 

(5)  James Scott Patton must abide by the contract with his treatment pro­vider and must immediately report any violation of the contract to the Board.

 

(6)  James Scott Patton must not violate the drug laws of Ohio, any other state, or the federal government.

 

(7)  James Scott Patton must abide by the rules of the State Board of Phar­macy.

 

(8)  James Scott Patton must comply with the terms of this Order.

 

 

(D)  Any violation of probation may result in a Board hearing to consider alter­na­tive or additional sanctions under Section 4729.16 of the Ohio Revised Code.

 

 

If James Scott Patton's pharmacist identification card to practice pharmacy in Ohio is not issued within three years from the effective date of this Order, James Scott Patton must also take and pass the North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination (NAPLEX) or an equiva­lent examination accepted by the Board.

 

James Scott Patton is hereby advised that the Board may at any time revoke probation for cause, modify the conditions of probation, and reduce or extend the period of probation.  At any time during this period of probation, the Board may revoke probation for a violation occurring during the probation period.

FINDINGS OF FACT

 

After having heard the testimony, observed the demeanor of the witnesses, considered the evidence, and weighed the credibility of each, the State Board of Pharmacy finds the following to be fact:

 

 

(1)  Records of the Ohio Board of Pharmacy indicate that Lesley Zimmerman Kennedy was originally licensed by the State of Ohio as a pharmacist on July 29, 1988, pursuant to examination.  Records further reflect that the Board summarily suspended Lesley Zimmerman Kennedy’s license to practice pharmacy on November 4, 2002.

 

(2)  Lesley Zimmerman Kennedy is addicted to liquor or drugs or impaired physically or mentally to such a degree as to render her unfit to practice pharmacy, to wit: Lesley Zimmerman Kennedy admitted to a Board Agent that she was addicted to drugs.  Such conduct indicates that Ms. Kennedy falls within the ambit of Sections 3719.121(A)&(B) and 4729.16(A)(3) of the Ohio Revised Code.

 

(3)  Lesley Zimmerman Kennedy did, on or about October 16, 2002, and dates prior thereto, intentionally make and/or knowingly possess a false or forged prescription, to wit: Lesley Zimmerman Kennedy admitted to a Board Agent that she falsified the fol­lowing controlled substance prescriptions for her own use:

Pursuant to Section 4729.16 of the Ohio Revised Code, and after consideration of the record as a whole, the State Board of Pharmacy hereby suspends indefinitely the pharmacist identi­fication card, No. 03-1-17455, held by Lesley Zimmerman Kennedy and such suspension is effective as of the date of the mailing of this Order.

 

 

(A) Lesley Zimmerman Kennedy, pursuant to Rule 4729-9-01(F) of the Ohio Admini­strative Code, may not be employed by or work in a facility licensed by the State Board of Pharmacy to possess or distribute dangerous drugs during such period of suspen­sion.

 

(B) Lesley Zimmerman Kennedy, pursuant to Section 4729.16(B) of the Ohio Revised Code, must return her identification card and license (wall certificate) to the office of the State Board of Pharmacy within ten days after receipt of this Order unless the Board office is already in possession of both.  The identification card and wall certificate should be sent by certified mail, return receipt requested.

 

 

Further, after one year from the effective date of this Order or until released by the court, whichever is later, the Board will consider any petition filed by Lesley Zimmerman Kennedy for a hearing, pursuant to Ohio Revised Code Chapter 119., for reinstatement.  The Board will only consider reinstatement of the license to practice pharmacy in Ohio if the following con­ditions have been met:

(3)  The program shall immediately report to the Board any violations of the contract and/or lack of cooperation.

 

 

(B)  Lesley Zimmerman Kennedy must demonstrate satisfactory proof to the Board that she is no longer addicted to or abusing drugs or impaired physically or men­tally to such a degree as to render her unfit to practice pharmacy.

 

(C)  Lesley Zimmerman Kennedy must provide, at the reinstatement petition hear­ing, documen­tation of the following:

Womeldorph-Annarino, pursuant to Section 4729.16(B) of the Ohio Re­vised Code, must return her identification card and license (wall certificate) to the office of the State Board of Pharmacy within ten days after receipt of this Order unless the Board office is already in possession of both.  The identification card and wall certi­ficate should be sent by certified mail, return receipt requested.

 

 

Further, after three years from the effective date of this Order, the Board will consider any petition filed by Nancy A.

Homer has complied with the terms set forth in the Order of the State Board of Pharmacy, Docket No. D-010913-009, effective January 11, 2002.

 

 

DECISION OF THE BOARD

(2)  The intervener/sponsor shall provide copies of all drug and alcohol screen reports to the Board in a timely fashion.

 

(3)  Attendance is required a minimum of three times per week at an Alco­holics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, and/or similar support group meet­ing.

(1)  The written report and documentation provided by the treatment pro­gram pursuant to the contract, and

 

(2)  A written description of Ralph G. Homer's progress towards recovery and what Ralph G. Homer has been doing during the previous three months.

 

 

(C)  Other terms of probation are as follows:

 

 

(1)  The State Board of Pharmacy hereby declares that Ralph G. Homer's pharma­cist identi­fication card is not in good standing and thereby denies the privilege of being a preceptor and training pharmacy interns pursuant to paragraph (D)(1) of Rule 4729-3-01 of the Ohio Administrative Code.

 

(2)  Ralph G. Homer may not serve as a responsible pharmacist.

 

(3)  Ralph G. Homer may not destroy, assist in, or witness the destruction of controlled substances.

(D)  Any violation of probation may result in a Board hearing to consider alter­na­tive or additional sanctions under Section 4729.16 of the Ohio Revised Code.

 

 

If Ralph G. Homer's pharmacist identification card to practice pharmacy in Ohio is not issued within three years of the effective date of this Order, Ralph G. Homer must also take and pass the North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination (NAPLEX) or an equivalent examination accepted by the Board.
