Air Force nurse court-martialed
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A former Air Force nurse who was dismissed from the service may give birth to her first child in a Texas jail.
Lancaster, 27, who is four months pregnant and serving time in San Antonio, Texas, said the pills she took were left from a prescription she received after her wisdom teeth were removed in April 1988.
Her parents, Carl and Margaret
business of Basehor, can hardly believe
what they see.
"They're locking her up for taking two pills that were prescribed for her," Moses said. "Does that make any sense?"
Authorities at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio said Lancaster was a victim of her own drug use.
"It looks like we convicted this pregnant, young captain of using her own medicine," said LL Col. Johnny Whitaker, an Air Force representative at Lackland. "There's an awful lot of cases, case than you see on the网
Air Force officials said they were restricted in what they could reveal about the case.
U.S. Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich.
chairperson of the House Government
Operations Committee, which
has built its facilities, has
palled for an investigation.
Ms. Lancaster hurt her hip when
she stripped and banged it on a kitchen counter. About a month later, the hip still hurt and she took painkiller medication, having her wisdom teeth removed.
Later that morning of Sept. 17, 1990, she went to work her 12-hour shift at Wilford Hall Air Force Medical Center in San Antonio.
Early in the shift, authorize learned syringes of the painkiller Demerol on Lancaster's ward had been drained and refilled with saline solution. They also thought some dosages of oxycodone, the active ingredient in Tylox, were not delivered to one of her patients.
After a supervisor pulled her aside when she began acting oddly, the nurse admitted she felt strange. A nurse who did not know Tylos and Demerol in her system
She was tried by a jury of eight fellow officers in May on charges of stealing Demerol, wrongful use of Demerol and wrongful use of oxydene.
The jury found her guilty only of wrongly using oxydone. She was sentenced to six months in confinement and served a service under conditions of dishonor.
Both sides agreed the jury's verdicts seemed inconsistent.
The judge instructed jurors to acquit her of wrongly using Tylox if the pills were prescribed for her and that made it legal for her to take the drug.
But David Wheeler, her attorney, said he wondered how the jury could convict her only for wrongfully using the Tylox when tests showed she had somehow consumed both it and Demerol.

Upjohn Co. to pay for sloppy records
100s Announcements
PORTLAND, Ore. — Uppolon Co. will pay a record 600,000 and change the way it markets drugs in response to allegations that the company kept samples given to doctors, federal prosecutors announced yesterday.

The Associated Press
Assistant U. S. Attorney Riley J. Akins said the settlement would be the largest ever collected under the federal Controlled Substances Act.
In agreeing to consent decrees in
districts. Upjohn
admitted no wrongdoing.
He said U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration investigators documented record-keeping problems involving samples of the popular drugs Xanax and Halcion in Oregon, Ohio, Michigan and Puerto Rico.
Atkins said investigators found no evidence that Xanax or Halcion went to anyone other than doctors authorized to receive samples.
Upjohn must pay an additional $500,000 if it fails to comply with terms of the order, Atkins said. The order will remain in effect five years.
But he said company records included invalid or incorrect DEA registration numbers for the recipient, and registration numbers never were recorded.
Under the consent decree, the pharmaceutical giant's sales personnel no longer will carry samples of controlled substances to pass out to doctors. Sales personnel instead will take written orders for free samples from doctors. Samples then will be shipped from warehouses.
Xanax, like the well-known drug Valium marketed by Roche Products Inc., is prescribed for anxiety Halcion is a sleep medication.
Both drugs are the national sales leaders in their categories, said Uipohn representative Gofrey娟. She said she would be sales about fiveyears ago, he said.
Upjohn sales personnel distribute drug samples aggressively to maintain their market share. Grant said
"There's a lot to be gained by good record-keeping." Grant said. "We're very intent on trying to prevent these problems from occurring."
He said doctors who received free samples give patients free short-term supplies of drugs.
If the drugs work, the doctors are likely to write full prescriptions, ringing up a sale for Upjohn, Grant said.
Most of the problems developed because harried sales personnel failed to keep proper track of people received free samples, Grant said.

Atkins said that an investigation of Upjohn's records in Portland began in 1989 and that it turned up 30 rules violations.
The DEA found further violations in Detroit, Cincinnati, Orlando, Fla., and Puerto Rico. he said.
The DEA documented the problems by examining reports of routine checks conducted once every three years, and then the Controlled Substances Act.
Atkins said prosecutors sought the record penalty because sloppy record-keeping could make it harder to detect other problems.
But the oil futures market did not go up yesterday. It drifted slightly lower as traders learned OPEC laid down its提拿 with any production cuts.
OPEC plans to hike prices by maintaining production
OPEC's agreement on production levels marked an extension of the tarret's production cap for the April June quarter. It is intended to bump production costs, it will restrain the supply of oil as demand grows during the summer.
The Associated Press
VIENNA, Austria — OPEC ministers agreed yesterday to hold oil production steady in coming months, a move aimed at raising prices.
The ministerial meeting of the cartel, which supplies a critical portion of the industrialized world's oil, was the first full OPEC gathering since oil markets were jolted by the Iran Gulf crisis.
Iran's oil minister, Gholamzea Agazadeh, said all 13 ministers of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries agreed to maintain a production ceiling of 22.3 million barrels day from July through September.
The OPEC ministers opened their summer conference by hearing a pitch from outgoing President Sadek Boussena for measures to boost crude prices up to the carlet's target of $21 a barrel.
The ministers were unwilling to help Iraq seek the removal of a United Nations boycott of its crude exports.
The organization sidestepped the question of how to reincorporate the oil production of members Kuwait and Iraq when they get their crude back into the supply stream. Both countries produced about 4.6 million barrels a day before the crisis began in August and are expected to respond in response again when the effects of the war escalate. In bawauit of Iran crude is removed
The ministers met formally for about three hours before breaking up for private bargaining in the hotel suite of Venezuela Oil Minister Celestino Armas, who was elected the new president.
Boussena, the Algerian minister,
said the cartel missed out on $7
billion worth of oil earnings in the
spring because of weak prices.
So far this year, prices have run an average of $18.58 a barrel, compared with $22.26 in 1990 and $17.31 in 1989.
"I hope that this meeting will take the appropriate decisions for the restoration of the $21 minimum reference price." Boussena said.
The average price of a barrel of crude monitored by the cartel stood at $17.68 a barrel last week.
