Is it appropriate to send Court Judge a letter regarding his decisions?

Posted by admin in Court Ordered Rehabilitation on October 21, 2010

Question by mamaghost2001: Is it appropriate to send Court Judge a letter regarding his decisions?
Judge wants to send my teen with Conduct disorder to Residential treatment center 300 miles away from my home. He plans on his decision next month. I found a Residential center that my insurance will pay 100%, and 38 miles away. Would it be appropriate to send Judge a letter informing him that I’ve decided to place her in a different RTC than what he may order? My child is in serious need of treatment, and her placement could occur 5 days before his decision. I’m not wanting to step on his toes per say, but his idea of RTC will not allow for my participation in her recovery due to distance. I’m putting in urgent calls to her probation officer, and she’s not returning my calls. But in court she tells the Judge that my child is high on her list. But she’s not high enough when I place urgent callls for her to return my call. I’m not indigent, and I don’t need the state to pay for the mental health of my child. What should I do? Am I wrong for overstepping his choice?

If he is 300 miles away the lesson will be lurned better. I think the point is he is sending him far away for he doesn’t always get mom comfort. He has to learn has to exsept consiquenses

Possession of controlled drugs – cannabis or cannabis resinUnder the Misuse of Drugs Acts anyone found in possession of cannabis or cannabis resin is guilty of an offence. If the court decides that the drug was for personal use and not for sale or distribution and this was a first offence, it can impose a fine not exceeding €381 on summary conviction in a District Court. On conviction on indictment, the defendant can be fined €635. For a second offence, a fine not exceeding €508 may be imposed and on conviction on indictment, a fine of €1,270 can be imposed. For a third or subsequent conviction, a fine not exceeding €1,270 can be imposed. If the court decides, a prison sentence of not more than 12 months can be imposed as well. On conviction on indictment, the court may decide on an appropriate fine and/or a prison sentence of up to three years can be imposed.

Possession of any other controlled drugsIt is an offence to be in possession of a controlled drug and on summary conviction for this offence, you could be liable for a fine not exceeding €1,270 or a prison sentence of no longer than 12 months. If the court decides, you could be liable for both. On conviction on indictment for possessing controlled drugs, the court can decide on an appropriate fine and you could also be liable for a prison sentence of not more than seven years. Again, if the court decides, you could be liable for both.

Anyone know the California or federal law regarding storage and access to narcotics in a hospital?

Posted by admin in Drug & Alcohol Laws on July 26, 2010

Question by jclockson: Anyone know the California or federal law regarding storage and access to narcotics in a hospital?
I happen to know of a nurse that openly admits she gives the keys to the medication room to unlicensed staff so that they may get ‘other’ items stored in the med-room. I know this is against a few hundred corporate policies, but I need to see if there is a specific law stating that unlicensed staff cannot have unsupervised access to where narcotics are kept.
This is a problem that could potentially cost us our jobs on an upcoming inspection….

Best answer:

Answer by michr
law is not the issue policy is. the nurse is legally responsible for the meds if the nurse gives keys to anyone and something is missing that nurse will be held accountable. report the nurse to the nursing supervisor. this nurse is putting her license at risk as well as her job and could possibly effect the job of others he/she works with. the nurse must inventory and sign for all narcotics under their control at every shift change.
if this nurse did happen to have a “drug problem” and was stealing or failing to properly dispense meds this is an easy way to try and blame someone else. the nurse can now claim she let someone in med room for some other supply and hey stole narcotics. the company would most likely still terminate the nurses employment for failing to follow policy but the nurse just might be able to keep their license.
report the nurse now!!!

What if any are the laws regarding use of another companies’ alcoholic spirits in a product I mix and sell?

Posted by admin in Uncategorized on July 17, 2010

I live in Ohio and I am interested in making and selling pre-made mixed drinks and shots. But, because I am a very small operation, I cannot produce the schnapps and such needed to produce these drinks. Are there any pressing legal issues associated with using another companies products in something that I will mix with several other ingredients, often from several different manufacturers, bottle myself, and package for sale? Any special liscensing required? I know that I would need a manufacturing license from the State of Ohio and such, but would I be obligated to tell a company if I were using their products in the mix?

Question regarding the release of medical information, in the case of a psychotic drug user?

Posted by admin in Uncategorized on July 10, 2010

Dr. Jones runs a rehab facilitly and is treating a psychotic drug user. The patient suddenly abandons the facility leaving a note that he plans to kill his ex-wife today. The patient has left behind his antipsychotic medicine that he must take every two hours. Dr. Jones

A. may not release this information because it’s confidential.
B. may release the information
C. may release the information only if the patient authorized such release in advance.
D. may release the information after obtaining a court order first.

These answers do not make sense to me. If the patient does harm his ex-wife, the ex-wife could sue Dr. Bob for failure to warn. So is warning the ex-wife considered “releasing the information”?

IS THERE ANY CASE LAW REGARDING PROBATIONARY EMPLOYMENT THAT WILL HELP ME?

Posted by admin in Uncategorized on July 5, 2010

I was a police officer in Ohio for 363 days. With 12 days left in my 1 year probation period I was hit by a drunk driver responding to a call, (I was nearly killed) with lights and siren to assist another officer who had a felony stop. Then 2 days shy of my 1 year probation I was fired by the mayor.

The police chief advised the mayor to wait until the official accident investigation was over before he made any decisions, but he did not care, and ordered the Chief to fire me.

I was cleared in the accident, I was not at fault. The Mayor would not re-instate me, stating I was fired because I failed to meet probationary standards. The mayor knew if he had left me on paid leave until the investigation was complete, those 2 days would have passed, and I would have had full union representation and I could not be fired, especially after the accident investigation implicated the guy that hit me, (he had alcohol, cocaine and marijuana in his blood).

I am suing the city for discrimination, unequal treatment and defamation of character.

Is there any case law that will help my case?
