Edens prescribed meds to his father and suboxone to daughter
A LOUISA PHYSICIAN RECEIVED HARSH PENALTIES FROM THE KY. STATE MEDICAL BOARD DUE TO MISCONDUCT & VIOLATIONS INVOLVING MASSIVE SUBOXONE AND OTHER PAIN MEDICATION PRESCRIPTIONS, ALONG WITH ILLICIT AND UNETHICAL PRACTICES.
DR, CURT EDENS WHO IS A FORMER WSAZ “HOMETOWN HERO” WAS GIVEN PROBATION, HAD RESTRICTIONS PLACED ON HIS PRACTICE, A FINE, AND HAS TO ATTEND MULTIPLE MEDICAL RETRAINING PROGRAMS ACROSS THE COUNTRY, AFTER VIOLATING A PREVIOUS PROBATION ORDER AGREEMENT WITH KENTUCKY MEDICAL BOARD FROM 2011. HIS SUBOXONE REPRESENTATIVE SAID EDENS WAS THE ONLY PHYSICIAN IN THE NATION THAT GIVES SUBOXONE TO PREGNANT WOMEN. (2011)
A high profile Louisa doctor was punished by the Kentucky Board of Medical Licensures in 2011 after they determined he has repeatedly committed multiple offenses and violations, especially after he had already been placed on probation by the medical board in the recent past.
Dr. Curt Edens, who is a physician licensed to practice osteopathy, with his specialty being obstetrics and gynecology, has been given several penalties and is now restricted by the state medical board on his practice of operations which is ongoing at his Louisa office.
Among the many violations committed by Dr. Edens; he prescribed large amounts of Suboxone to individuals without proper examination and screenings, especially prescribing Suboxone to pregnant women. The medical board stated he was one of the the few physicians in the country to use the risky practice method, with it being known Suboxone causes a significant risk of miscarriages and premature births.
Eden also prescribed pain medication to his father and Suboxone to his daughter, which is an unethical ‘no-no’ across the country for physicians to prescribe controlled medications to their family members, the board noted.
Most importantly, Edens’ actions of prescribing large amounts of Suboxone and possibly other medications led to individuals attending his medical office building in downtown Louisa, causing a spike in criminal activity in the area around his office (and in the general Louisa area), along with problematic parking and motor vehicle traffic on the roadways in the area of Edens’ office, the 2011 complaint from te Louisa Police Dept. said.
In the extensive three part 36 page complaint stipulation inquiry report filed by the Kentucky Board of Medical Licensures on June 6, 2016 (6-6-16), that includes his lack of compliance from his still standing previous probation agreement with the state medical board, the entire report can read (via a PDF file) at this link HERE.
Lazer reporters have been attempting to secure copies of the report for the past three weeks but have been blocked by Kentucky Attorney General Andy Beshear’s office staff.
