The issues in this case are whether Respondent, a physician, failed to adhere to the applicable level of care in prescribing controlled substances; failed to follow standards for the use of controlled substances for the treatment of pain; and failed to keep legible medical records justifying the course of a patient's treatment; if so, whether Petitioner should impose discipline on Respondent's medical license within the applicable penalty guidelines or take some other action.Respondent was not shown to have violated the applicable level of care in prescribing controlled substances, or to have failed to follow the applicable practice standards, but he failed to keep legible medical records, warranting disciplinary action.
