Physician's Submission Accepted
A paper entitled, Reports of Stolen Prescription Medication: A Closer Look?,
submitted by William Granger, M.D. and co-author Dawn MacDonald, B.S.W.,
has been accepted for a poster presentation at both the American Academy
of Pain Management (AAPM) meeting in Nashville, Tennessee and the American
Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) annual meeting in Orlando, Florida
later this year.
The paper is one of the results of a cooperative effort between the Marion Police Department and the Grant County Medical Society on how best to help patients/victims who have had their prescription medication stolen.
Dr. Granger gives Ms. MacDonald, a Crime Analyst and Prevention Coordinator for Marion Police Department (Marion, IN), most of the credit for the paper and feels her work is highly influential in an original way and should serve as an impetus for further study into this growing problem.
“Its importance dictates it should be disseminated to all fellow medical professionals, and the AAPM and ASA obviously agree,” adds Granger.
Dr. Dhan Raj, chief of anesthesia at MGH, echoes Granger’s sentiments. “For a practicing community physician such as Dr. Granger to have a paper accepted by the ASA is a very rare honor,” says Raj. “It speaks volumes to the significance of this work.”
