Monthly Column from Attorney
t, eneral jack t000nway
I hke KBML to share their fort to combat prescrip-
On September 22, Since House Bill 1 (HB "
received an email from
a grieving mother in
Oldham County who
had lost a child to a pre-
scription drug overdose.
Her daughter died at a
friend's house after mix-
ing the drug Opana with
other substances. She
was just 16 years old.
I have received many of
these letters and grieved
with far too many par-
ents devastated by the
scourge of prescription
drug abuse. I vowed to
each one of these fami-
lies that I would do ev-
erything I could to. stop
the spread of this epi-
demic.
Through landmark
prescription drug abuse
legislation, my Prescrip-
tion Drug Diversion Task
Force and my Keep Ken-
tucky Kids Safe aware-
ness initiative, we are
making progress.
Over the past decade,
prescriptions for pow-
erful painkillers have
soared, making Kentucky
the third most medicated
state in the nation. Last
year, 219 million doses
of hydrocodone were
dispensed in Kentucky-
that's 51 doses for every
man, woman and child in
this state.
While some irrespon-
sible doctors handed
out pain pills like candy,
prescription pain-killer
abuse rose 900 percent,
overdose deaths doubled
and we've seen an alarm-
ing 2,400 percent in-
crease in the number of
babies born addicted to
)ain killers.
1) took effect on July 20,
2012, fewer of these high-
ly addictive controlled
substances are being
dispensed, marking the
first reduction in a de-
cade. Doctors are now
required to utilize the
Kentucky All Schedule
Prescription Electronic
Reporting (KASPER)
system to separate legiti-
mate pain sufferers from
doctor shoppers.
Today, KASPER has
nearly 22,000 registered
users, requesting more
than 18,000 reports each
day, most of which are
returned in a matter of
seconds.
Rogue pain clinics are
closing up shop in Ken-
tucky. Unable to com-
ply with the new law, 10
pain management clinics
have closed their doors.
And the Kentucky Board
of Medical Licensure
(KBML) has disciplined
35 physibians for pre-
scribing violations. 10
faced emergency orders
of suspension and five
surrendered their licens-
es.
Under a Memorandum
of Understanding (MOU)
drafted by my office, we
are working hand-in-
hand with the medical
licensure boards, Ken-
tucky State Police (KSP)
and the Cabinet for
Health and Family Ser-
vices (CHFS) to share
information to identify
the most egregious c/s-
es of illegal or inappro-
priate prescribing. Our
MOU created a central-
ized database for boards
Mayor's Charity Ball
WHEN_: Saturday night, Nov. 10 th
TIME: Reception begins at 6 p.m., Music at 7 p.m.
WHERE: Crossroads Elementary School
CHARITY: Tim's Toy Trot for Tots
HONORING: Bath County Veterans
TICKET PRICE: $25.00 donation
Available at City Hall
The "Young at Heart Big Band" will be providing the music. This group
consists of 20 members from throughout central Kentucky.
The designated charity this year helps to provide toys to
underprivileged children in Bath County during the Christmas season.
All veterans presentwill be honored and are encouraged to wear
something symbolic of their service (hat, uniform, medal, pin, etc.)
complaints regarding il-
legal or inappropriate
prescribing with law en-
forcement. The system
has processed 41 com-
plaints since July.
We are also working
together to address a few
unintended consequenc-
es of HB 1 and will be
taking a look at exemp-
tions for long-term care
facilities and in-patient
hospital services. Our
goal is to weed out the
very bad actors and en-
sure patients have the
best care possible.
Additionally, we are
continuing to work
closely with local law
enforcement through
my statewide drug diver-
sion task force to go after
these rogue pain clinics
and unscrupulous doc-
tors: doctors like Richard
I
Albert, who prescribed
more than 105,000 pre-
scription pills per month
at his Paintsville, Ky.
clinic with little to no ex-
amination of his patients.
Dr. Albert pled guilty
last summer to federal
charges of conspiring to
illegally distribute and
dispense controlled sub-
stances.
Keep Kentucky Kids
Safe
Awareness and educa-
tion continue to be key
components of our el-
tion drug abuse. Since I
launched the Keep Ken-
tucky Kids Safe program
in 2010 with concerned
parents, state partners
and law enforcement
agencies, I've warned
more than 15,000 middle
and high school students
across the state about
the dangers of abusing
prescription pills.
We are also listening
to what students have
to say about this issue
through our annual Keep
Kentucky Kids Safe video
public service announce-
ment (PSA) contest.
Please encourage amid-
dle or high school stu-
dent in your life to create
a 30-second video PSA
and enter it into our com-
petition by Dec. 7, 2012.
The winner will receive
an Apple iPad. Details
are available at http://
ag.ky.gov/rxabuse.
Finally, if you haven't
already done so, please
make sure to lock-up
and monitor prescrip-
tion medications in the
home and safely dispose
of unneeded medications
through drop boxes or
take,back events.
Working together, we
can win the war against
prescription drug abuse.
