6. Sidney S. Loxley, M.D., Revocation of Registration, 71 Fed. Reg. 30172 (May 25, 2006)
On January 25, 2005, DEA issued an Order to Show Cause and Immediate Suspension to Respondent, which suspended his DEA registration and directed him to show cause as to why DEA should not revoke his registration. The Order noted that Respondent had two prior disciplinary actions by the Virginia Board of Medicine: a sixteen-month suspension of his medical license in 1993 for a sexual relationship with a minor; a three-year probation in October 2003 for prescribing controlled substances to his wife, who was chemically dependent; and controlled substance recordkeeping violations reflecting gross incompetence. The Order also alleged that Respondent was writing prescriptions for large amounts of controlled substances to people without the physical examinations, testing or evaluations that are consistent with a legitimate doctor-patient relationship. Between October 2003 and May 2004, DEA undercover Special Agents and cooperating sources posing as patients obtained multiple prescriptions, and audits of pharmacies between August and December 2004 revealed that Respondent was continually prescribing large quantities of narcotic controlled substances without apparent legitimate medical reasons. Four patients died under Respondent’s care as a possible result of overprescribing. Respondent was indicted on 91 felony counts related to unlawful distribution and dispensing of controlled substances without a legitimate medical purpose.
Post #7960 is rather long - but please note the following:
