Telemedicine Internet Prescribing Case - Colorado Doctor Sentenced To 9 Months Jail Sentence In Cali
[info]xeyewake

In a case that could have ramifications for online prescribing and telemedicine, on April 19, 2009, a Colorado physician, Christian Hageseth, was sentenced to nine months in jail for prescribing the antidepressant fluoxetine (generic Prozac) over the Internet to a California teenager and Stanford student who later committed suicide two months later. There was no evidence that the Prozac caused the death of the student in 2005.

The case is one of the first criminal prosecutions of a practitioner for using telehealth without having a license in the patient's state. In other words, Dr. Hageseth was never present in California at any time during the alleged commission of the unlawful practice of medicine but the California court nevertheless asserted jurisdiction over him.

The physician has already surrendered his medical license. The sentence followed a no contest guilty plea after the California Court of Appeals issued an opinion in May 2007 which held that authorities could cross state lines to pursue criminal charges against Dr. Hageseth. Hageseth v. Superior Court, 150 Cal. App.4th 1399, 59 Cal. Rptr.3d 385.

After sentencing, Hagaseth made a statement that he pled guilty because he was financially and emotionally drained. Hageseth was allowed to serve the sentence in Colorado. He also was ordered to pay $4,200 to reimburse the Medical Board of California for investigation costs.

History Of Case

The case was prosecuted by the San Mateo County District Attorney's Office which followed up on an investigation of Dr. Hageseth's conduct by the Medical Board of California, which referred the case to county authorities for criminal prosecution.

The Medical Board's position was that Dr. Hageseth was not legally practicing telemedicine because he was not licensed in California when he prescribed fluoxetine to 19-year-old John McKay through an Internet online pharmacy viagra. Further, the Board indicated it did not meet its telemedicine criteria since there was no face-to-face evaluation nor an established patient-physician relationship. In our opinion, it may have been referred criminally because the California Medical Board did not have any jurisdiction over a Colorado physician.

This case took 3 years to go through the courts and there was a civil lawsuit which was ultimately dismissed. The history is as follows. In 2006, the San Mateo District Attorney's Office filed a felony charge against Dr. Hageseth for practicing medicine without a license under § 2052 of the California Business and Professions Code. Section 2052 provides that any person who "practices . . . any mode of treating the sick . . . in this state, or who diagnoses, treats or prescribes for any . . . physical or mental condition of any person, without having at the time a valid . . . certificate as provided in this chapter or without being authorized to perform the act pursuant to a certificate obtained in accordance with some other provision of law is guilty of a public offense, punishable by a fine not exceeding ten thousand dollars, by imprisonment in the state prison, by imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding one year, or by both”.

The criminal complaint was based on the California Medical Board's investigative report. The report states that, on or about June 11, 2005, John McKay, a resident of San Mateo County, initiated an online purchase of fluoxetine (generic Prozac) on "www. usanetrx. com," an interactive Web site located outside of the United States. The questionnaire McKay received and returned online, which identified him as a resident of this state, was forwarded by operators of the Web site to JRB Health Solutions for processing. JRB, which has its headquarters in Florida and operates a server in Texas, forwarded McKay's purchase request and questionnaire to Dr. Hageseth, its "physician subcontractor," who resided in Fort Collins, Colorado, and was licensed to practice medicine in that state.

After reviewing McKay's answers to the questionnaire, Dr. Hageseth issued an online prescription of the requested medication and returned it to JRB's server in Texas. JRB forwarded the prescription to the Gruich Pharmacy Shoppe in Biloxi, Mississippi, which filled the prescription and mailed the requested amount of fluoxetine to McKay at his California address. Several weeks later, intoxicated on alcohol and with a detectable amount of fluoxetine in his blood, McKay committed suicide by means of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Hageseth moved to dismiss the charge on the grounds that the court lacked jurisdiction to hear the case because “all the alleged criminal acts occurred outside the state” of California. The trial court denied his motion and he appealed.

Court Of Appeals Decision

The Court of Appeals began its analysis of the jurisdiction issue by noting that § 27 of the California Penal Code says “persons are liable under the laws of this state . . . who commit, in whole or in part, any crime within this state.” It noted that because the issue of jurisdiction goes to the court’s power to hear a case, it is a legal issue that must be decided by the court, not by a jury.

Hageseth argued on appeal that his act of practicing medicine began and ended with the writing of the prescription in Colorado, and the filling of the prescription, which occurred in Mississippi, was an entirely separate act, requiring a separate license’ for which he cannot be held criminally accountable. Hageseth argued that it is irrelevant whether he knew the medication he prescribed would be sent to California because his act ended with the writing of the prescription.

The Court of Appeals responded by noting that under the “detrimental effects" theory of extraterritorial criminal jurisdiction, acts “done outside a jurisdiction, but intended to produce and producing detrimental effects within it, justify a State in punishing the cause of the harm as if he had been present at the effect”.

The Court of Appeals then found that the facts in this case supported the application of the “detrimental effects” theory of jurisdiction. The Court of Appeals opined:

"A preponderance of the evidence shows that, without having at the time a valid California medical license, [Hageseth] prescribed fluoxetine for a person he knew to be a California resident knowing that act would cause the prescribed medication to be sent to that person at the California address he provided. If the necessary facts can be proved at trial beyond a reasonable doubt, the People will have satisfactorily shown a violation of Business and Professions Code section 2052. It is enough for our purposes that a preponderance of the evidence now shows that [he] intended to produce or could reasonably foresee that his act would produce, and he did produce, the detrimental effect section 2052 was designed to prevent[, i.e., practicing medicine without a license.]"

The Court of Appeals then considered and rejected Hageseth's other arguments including whether it should make a difference that the offense took place in cyberspace rather than in the real space for which the jurisdictional statutes were designed.

Attorney Comments: AMA policy requires that physicians who prescribe via the Internet have a valid relationship with the patient -- including having taken a medical history, performed a physical exam and being available for follow-up -- and appropriate licensure. The AMA also supports creation of uniform state and federal rules for online prescribing. The AMA's policy may go further than most telemedicine practitioners would deem reasonable -- especially where there are consult referrals for radiology or opthamology.

When physicians consider telemedicine practices which may or may not include Internet prescribing, these "worst case" scenarios need to be considered. Every attempt must be made to comply with various state rules and abiding by AMA policy can be a valid defense. Legal opinions regarding the telemedicine practice are critical to avoid facing exposure by various state medical boards or other types of prosecution.

Visiting the ER WITH Health Insurance and Without

$2600.

$544.



Look carefully at those two numbers. The first is the sum of three bills I received for my husband's day-after-Christmas visit to the emergency room for unusual dizziness. A CT and EKG ruled out a stroke or heart attack. Diagnosis? Vertigo.



(Note: both figures will likely be much higher once all the bills come in, but I needed a blog post so I'm going with what I've got now).



Now look at the second figure. That's what I have to pay after the discounts my insurance company has negotiated with the viagra and radiologists. Note: there are no payments from the insurance company in there because we had not yet met our deductible. These are just the discounts.



Which points out a really critical issue when it comes to those who have health insurance and those who don't. Merely by having health insurance--even before my insurance company spends a single cent on my medical care--I benefit. I benefit from the administrators who go to the hospitals and doctors and negotiate deep discounts in exchange for funneling more volume (i.e., patients) to their practices (and yes, I know that the doctors and hospitals on the receiving end aren't thrilled about it, but that's a topic for another blog post).



Someone without health insurance, however, likely because they can't afford it, has no such benefit and so winds up paying that first figure--if they can afford it.



(Note to those who are counting: that would be about 35 million American citizens).



A few months ago Congress was close to providing insurance to those people, enabling them to enjoy the same discounts my family does. Today, they're still stuck on the outside looking in. How is this good politics or good policy?



Because what all this talk about healthcare reform really comes down to in the end is the ability to go to the emergency room on the day after Christmas when you're petrified that your husband may have a stroke, receive quality care, and be able to pay for the care you received.



It's really not that complicated.

Viagra para Crianças
[info]xeyewake


A fim de obter mais seis meses de vendas exclusiva de cheap cialis sem a concorrência dos genéricos, a Pfizer pretende distribuir um formulário de viagra para crianças, sob o pretexto de tratar uma doença pulmonar que afeta 600 crianças a cada ano.
De acordo com o nypost
"Viagra modifica o fluxo de sangue, pode reduzir a pressão sanguínea anomalmente alta nos pulmões de uma criança, ou hipertensão arterial pulmonar. Os sintomas incluem tontura, dor no peito e cansaço.
Um painel de conselheiros do FDA irá determinar nesta quinta-feira se dará luz verde para a versão para criança,
Se a droga da Pfizer atender as exigências do FDA para o tratamento das crainças, a Pfizer iria receber um extra de seis meses de exclusividade de venda de Viagra sem a concorrência dos genéricos. As vendas do viagra em 2009 chegaram a 1890 milhões de dólares. Sua patente, porém, expira em 2012".
A aplicação do Viagra é acreditado ser eficaz no tratamento de doenças do pulmão das crianças, alguns médicos  utilizam uma versão de baixa dose de Viagra (chamado Revatio) desde 2002.
A FDA pediu Pfizer para criar esta versão 'criança-amigável' de Viagra para ajudar as crianças afectadas com a doença pulmonar rara, em 2001, que a Pfizer não quis fazer até agora. A mudança repetina seria presumivelmente devido ao seu desejo de estender a patente, pois na sua redação atual, os concorrentes seriam capazes de vender uma versão genérica do Viagra em 2012, um movimento que poderia reduzir os lucros da Pfizer Viagra pela metade.

Teaching Medical Ethics (Informed Consent)

Teaching Medical Ethics (Informed Consent)

This spring I have the privilege of teaching in the required first year “Medical Ethics and Professionalism” course at Harvard Medical School. The course is taught in seminar sections. I will be working with 13 students who come to medical school with varied backgrounds and experience, but who, judging from our first class and their first weekly 500 word paper, have intelligence, enthusiasm, and idealism, in common.

Last week’s seminar focused on informed consent. They read the section on informed consent in “Principles of Biomedical Ethics” (Beauchamp & Childress) and “The Learning Curve,” a New Yorker article in which Atul Gawande discusses the tension between the patient’s wish for the best possible treatment and society’s need for training the next generation of clinicians, who have to learn by doing.

We organized the seminar around brief cases. The most gripping case involved a fourth year Harvard Medical student doing a subinternship at a local order cialis. The chief resident asks the student to do a procedure s/he has never done. The procedure requires drawing blood from an artery in the wrist. The procedure, at best, is painful. The student has a good relationship with the 64 year old patient. Our question was – what does informed consent require telling the patient?

We all agreed that the student had to make sure that the patient understood the proposed procedure, the rationale for doing it, and the risks and benefits. That’s basic. But what about the fact that the student is…a student? All agreed that the patient should be told that the student is indeed a student, not a graduate physician. So far, so good.

Now came the tough question. Should the student tell the patient “this will be the first time I will be doing the procedure?” We pushed hard on this one, role playing the alternatives. I played the patient, and tried to be as difficult to handle as possible.

We took a vote on what to do. It split down the middle. All agreed that if the patient asked “have you done this before?” he should be told the truth. But the class was divided on whether this should be done proactively.

My take on this was to interpret the situation as a classical good vs. good conflict. Robust informed consent is a fundamental value. But so is competence, and we won’t have competent physicians in the future if we don’t train them now. Reasonable people, I suggested, could weigh these values differently, and come up with different answers.

But the students, happily, didn’t stop there. Without labeling it as such, they moved from clinical ethics to organizational ethics. I may have nudged them to think in terms of “preventive ethics,” but it seemed natural and sensible to them to ask – “how can we minimize the frequency of raw ethical problems like the one the student was facing?”

They came up with a number of good ideas. The cialis should have clear policies about training students to do procedures. How many should they be required to watch before trying? To the greatest extent possible, simulation should be used first. When the time comes to encourage the student to put hands on, there should be close supervision. And, there should be training, as was beginning to happen in the class, about how to talk with the patient. Students felt that in circumstances like these it would be much easier to conduct a robust process of informed consent:

“I am a medical student, working with Dr. X. I have not done this procedure before, but I have been trained in how to do it. Dr. X will be right here, to make sure everything goes right. Is all this OK with you?”

Organizations can’t be ethical without ethical clinicians. But it is much easier for clinicians to be ethical when organizations get their own ethical act together!
