Testimony of Dr. Chelimsky Concerning Medications Prescribed by Dr. Hoogendoorn
74. Dr. Chelimsky testified as follows concerning some of the medications that
Dr. Hoogendoorn prescribed at PCC:
• Wellbutrin is used to treat depression, and the treatment of depression is beyond the
scope of the practice of podiatry. Although some antidepressants are effective in
treating chronic pain, Wellbutrin is not. (Tr. at 1675-1678)
• Neurontin is an anti-epileptic medication that can be used to manage pain, and its use
constitutes the practice of medicine. (Tr. at 1678-1679)
• Zyprexa is a mild, sedating anti-psychotic medication used primarily to treat patients
who suffer from hallucination. It is also useful as a sleep aid for chronic pain
patients. Dr. Chelimsky is not aware of any use for Zyprexa to treat podiatric
conditions. (Tr. at 1679-1680)
• Transderm-Scop is a medication used to treat nausea. Its use is not within the scope
of practice for podiatry. (Tr. at 1741-1742)
• Duragesic patch contains the opiate Fentanyl, and is prescribed to relieve pain.
(Tr. at 1743)
• “Zanaflex is an anti-spastic agent that’s sometimes used for chronic pain, sometimes
used for migraine.” It could be used for podiatric conditions such as a muscle spasm
in the foot or ankle. However, Dr. Chelimsky found no such symptoms in the
medical records for Patients 18 and 20, the patients who had received Zanaflex from
Dr. Hoogendoorn. (Tr. at 1754-1755)
• Catapres is a transdermal preparation of clonidine, an antihypertensive medication
that Dr. Hoogendoorn had prescribed to Patient 9. Its use would be beyond the scope
