She wrote prescriptions for people recovering from suicide attempts, seeking care after hospitalizations, or suffering from mental health conditions. But Dr. Robinson wasn’t her real name.
PHOENIX — For nearly a year, Dr. Pamela Robinson saw dozens of patients in her West Valley psychiatric office.
While her criminal case is now over, it continues to highlight the consistent and constant failures of our state, health, and law enforcement officials to identify, track, and stop impostor medical professionals. She saw at least 60 patients over the following year and a half and wrote 327 prescriptions, court records show.
The woman said she was referred to O’Guinn by Banner Del Webb Medical Center after in-patient treatment following a suicide attempt. “I’m afraid to trust any new doctor, new specialist,” the woman victim said during her interview. “I investigate everyone now before I even make the phone call...I never realized I would ever have to do that: be my own private investigators to make sure doctors are really doctors.”But she also attempted to minimize her own wrongdoing.
The real nurse in Maine told the court the “whole ordeal has been traumatic, terrifying, and frustrating.”
