La Jolla oncologist pleads guilty to importing unapproved drug
As his patient, my concern is his failure to inform, discuss and obtain consent from those receiving the drug without FDA approval. The active ingredient was listed on the label. That's great but without FDA approval there is a potential risk that the drug was not stored or transported at the appropriate temperature range for example. I want complete confidence that my physician and his staff have my best interests at heart and now sadly this incident has damaged my trust. Additionally, I assume the oncology nurse participated in ordering the chemo agents. If so, and she knowingly participated in this scheme, then the State Board of Registered Nurses should conduct an investigation too. Thank you for listening.— January 24, 2013 6:10 p.m.
