I have an old friend, a psychiatrist, who has a private practice for over three decades now.
For the pass several years, he has been dealing with a couple of penalties from the medical board.
He is currently not allowed to write prescriptions while on probation and taking courses/classes to resolve the issues.
So in the meantime he is still seeing patients but that’s it.
He has asked me to help him by seeing his patients and writing prescriptions for them. This would mean that I would have to use my DEA and see his patients a few hours a day.
My question is if I do help him for a month or maybe more, am I risking anything that could jeopardize my own license?
I’ve only worked at institutions post grad so maybe my question may sound naive or stupid.
Thanks for any helpful advice.
