Tulsa Doctor Accused of Drug Diversion
A Tulsa doctor is accused of drug diversion today after a multi-agency undercover operation found he dispensed medications without medical need, Attorney General Edmondson said.
Dr. George J. Blake was charged today in Tulsa County District Court with one count of distributing a controlled and dangerous substance. The state alleges Blake prescribed unnecessary medications “not in good faith and outside the course of professional practice.”
According to the state’s complaint, Blake prescribed controlled substances to undercover agents during numerous office visits without conducting any type of physical examination or requesting any patient records.
During one office visit, an undercover agent asked Blake for Xanax and Adderall. When Blake asked if the agent had ADHD the agent replied, “Sure, whatever that is.” Blake wrote the agent prescriptions for both drugs.
Edmondson’s office is working the case in conjunction with the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs, Drug Enforcement Agency, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General and Tulsa Police Department.
