Professional License; Ethics; State Board Of Medical Examiners; Drug Abuse
A physician, who had previously been disqualified to practice in another state, was in jeopardy of losing his license to practice in Georgia following his overdose of a self-prescribed controlled drug. The doctor retained the Firm to represent him before the State Board of Medical Examiners. Rather than having to surrender his medical license, he was allowed to resume his practice following the completion of a drug treatment program and other terms and conditions that were negotiated for him by the Firm.
