Woman charged with ‘doctor shopping’

Tuesday August 24, 2010

BENNINGTON — A New York woman pleaded not guilty Tuesday in Bennington criminal court to charges of “doctor shopping.”

Doctor shopping is the practice of receiving prescription medication from multiple doctors without notifying the doctors of the other prescriptions.

Dorothy Smith, 58, of Cambridge, N.Y., was charged with a felony count of prescription fraud. She was released on conditions that she not go to the Walmart or The Pharmacy in Bennington.

According to an affidavit by Bennington Police Detective Peter Urbanowicz, in May, he was informed by an employee of a Bennington doctor that Smith was suspected of receiving doses of Oxycodone, a narcotic painkiller, from another doctor in New York as well as the one she works for.

Urbanowicz said he performed a pharmacy check and found records showing Smith having filled a prescription for 150 doses of Oxycodone at the Walmart on Northside Drive using a prescription written by the Bennington doctor. Records also showed her filling a 140-dose prescription of the same type of medication at The Pharmacy that was written by the doctor in New York.

He said the Bennington doctor reported that Smith signed a pain management agreement with him in January 2009, thereby agreeing to not seek medication from any other doctor.

Urbanowicz said he met with Smith in Cambridge, N.Y., on July 20 and she admitted to signing the agreement as well as getting medication from the two doctors. She told police she did not realize she was violating Vermont law.

Lessons from great social media campaigns

I remember being blown away by the clever marketing campaign that made “The Blair Witch Project” a hit movie in 1999, the year I joined Forbes. This effort is at the top of a list Forbes.com published this week ranking the 20 best-ever social media campaigns and continues to inspire copy-cat efforts. Lionsgate, for instance, apparently hopes to gin up the same kind of buzz by using a supposedly demon-possessed girl on Chatroulette to promote horror flick “The Last Exorcism” due out Aug.27, to teen boys. Is that a real girl? No, it’s an ad.
