John Nedza, MD, was convicted of 18 counts of obtaining a controlled substance by deceit or subterfuge.
Dr. Nedza, who was contracted at an Oklahoma City hospital, diverted substances including fentanyl, ketamine, dilaudid and midazolam by falsely claiming the drugs were for patient surgeries.
According to the report, the surgeries were not scheduled for or done by Dr. Nedza, and on at least six occasions, claimed to have disposed of the substances but kept them for personal use.
