Pharmacist
Client arrived with allegations of stealing hundreds of opioids from Pharmacy. The Board of Pharmacy has a length investigative file with very severe statements from staff that client was seen removing bottles of meds with no apparent pharmacy purpose. Pharmacy came to recognize substantial inventory discrepancy and tried to blame loss on client. Pharmacy created cover video of client allegedly removing inventory. Three-day hearing resulted in successfully attacking accuracy of video surveillance and the Board’s investigation and ultimately complete acquittal for client, withdrawal of accusation.
