A physician is no longer working at Adirondack Medical Center after he pleaded guilty to illegally prescribing opioids to patients in Virginia pain management clinics without a “legitimate medical purpose,” allegedly leading to the overdose death of one patient. The Adirondack Daily Enteprise reports 64 year old Duane Dixon was a pain medicine specialist at Adirondack Medical Center until recently. He pleaded guilty on Oct. 3 to two counts — one for the unlawful distribution of opioids, including fentanyl, oxycodone, hydrocodone, morphine and buprenorphine, and another for healthcare fraud.
