(USGovernment-News.Com, June 05, 2016 ) Boston, MA -- According to The Boston Globe, two Massachusetts doctors have been suspended due to prescription violations. One doctor inappropriately prescribed medical marijuana while the other provided opiate medication to a patient who later died of an overdose. The Board of Registration in Medicine voted unanimously on the temporary suspension of Dr. John C. Nalony and Dr. Fred J. Thaler after a two hour evaluation of the cases. These suspensions come as part of a crackdown regarding medical malpractice contributing to substance abuse epidemic impacting the United States.
Facilities providing drug rehab in Boston understand the unfortunate impact of prescription drug abuse on the community. With a greater push for doctors and medical professionals to be held responsible for prescription violations, Drug and Alcohol Rehab Boston hopes to see a reduction in prescription drug abuse.
A representative of Drug and Alcohol Rehab Boston comments: "We absolutely support and expect the medical industry to be held responsible for their role in the current substance abuse epidemic affecting the United States. Misuse and abuse of the prescription policies we have in place only contributes to the problem; we should be able to expect competency and to receive the best treatment. When a medical doctor is sworn in, they take an oath to do no harm and to put the safety and health of their clients above profit. These doctors have not done so."
