WASHINGTON (AP) — A Maryland doctor is being charged with operating a pill mill out of his office in Rockville, and prosecutors say one person died after using methadone the doctor provided.
Silviu Ziscovici, a pain management specialist who had his medical license suspended in by Maryland officials in 2010, was arrested Wednesday. Prosecutors say that starting in at least 2009 Ziscovici, also known as “Dr. Z,” prescribed drugs including oxycodone, methadone and morphine in exchange for a fee. All the offenses allegedly took place before his license was suspended.
