Part of Whistleblower's objective is to report on actions government agencies and licensing board take against the companies and individuals they regulate. Our intent is to provide, as a matter of record, a glimpse into the decisions these agencies and boards make. The majority of the decisions we post are ones to which the party being disciplined has agreed. A dental hygienist who forged narcotics prescriptions using a patient's name had conditions placed on her license this month by the Minnesota Board of Dentistry. In December, Marin R. Kopper self-reported her substance abuse and agreed to be monitored and participate in a treatment program, according to the board's order. Later that month, she admitted to Rochester police she had been forging prescriptions for a year using both real and fictitious names, the order said. She pleaded guilty in May to a felony. She was given five years' probation and 100 hours of community service. Kopper agreed to continued monitoring and to abstain from mood-altering drugs, the order stated. Read the full stipulation and order here.
