Re: pharmacist using physician's license number, can the physician sue?

first of all, the use of your medical license in this manner would be a crime in which the pharmacist could be charged with. secondly, you could have causes of action in tort against the pharmacist, i.e fraud, misrepresentation, business torts, etc..if you have suffered any losses economically or patient wise as a result of this pharmacists misconduct. if you would like further assistance and/or representation, feel free to email me more facts pertaining to your case.

First, report him to all regulatory authorities and state and federal prosecutors. His use of your ID could result in serious problems for you if his customers complained about 'your' prescribing meds causing illness or damage. Civil suit against him and the company is possible, based upon misuse of your credentials and the damage to your reputation. If interested in pursuing, contact me.

Re: pharmacist using physician's license number, can the physician sue?

I would need to know more facts in order to assess what kind of case, if any, you would be able to bring against the pharmacist. Was anybody (patients, insurers, colleagues, government regulators, medical organizations, etc.) led to believe you had actually written these prescriptions? Have you been accused of any wrongdoing as a result? Is there the potential for such accusations down the road?

Please feel free to contact me directly if you want to discuss this matter further.

Re: pharmacist using physician's license number, can the physician sue?

the use of your medical license by the pharmacist is a crime. You should report this conduct to the local law enforcement, and provide the evidence you have of this criminal conduct.

You would have a cause of action against the pharmacist. The pharmacy may have some liability, but that will be more difficult to prove.
