Maine board withdraws allegations against physician who criticized early COVID-19 policies 

Maine's state medical board has withdrawn some of the allegations against Ellsworth-based physician Meryl Nass, MD, who could lose her license for prescribing hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin to COVID-19 patients, The Washington Times reported Oct. 7. 

The board withdrew six allegations against Dr. Nass, who criticized the government's response to COVID-19 online. 

Dr. Nass is still being accused of not keeping "complete, accurate and timely" records and lying to pharmacists about reasons for prescribing the drugs, as well as prescribing the drugs based on text messages with patients. 

One hydroxychloroquine prescription Dr. Nass wrote allegedly included "no patient history, no physical examination, no medical decision-making, no patient informed consent, no coordination of care and no recommended follow-up," according to the report.
