March-April 2006 NORTH CAROLINA MEDICAL BOARD Board orders/consent orders/other board actions |
On March 13, 2006 the North Carolina Medical Board suspended psychiatrist
Linda Kaufman Derbes' medical license for six months. Dr. Derbes was found
to have prescribed controlled substances to a family member for no legitimate
medical need. Dr. Derbes was doing this to obtain the drugs for her personal
use. The Board's position is that unless lawfully prescribed by someone
else, Dr. Derbes shall refrain from the use of mind- or mood-altering
drugs and must comply with other conditions of her suspension. |
