BASSETT, Va. – A former employee has filed a lawsuit against a rehabilitation facility in Bassett, alleging the center falsified medical records and improperly distributed medications to patients.
The 14-page lawsuit was filed by former medication technician Cynthia Cobbler, who worked at Sobrius from November until March. The suit alleges Cobbler was fired after reporting the alleged misconduct to the Drug Enforcement Administration.
According to the complaint, Cobbler witnessed patients being given medications that were not prescribed to them shortly after beginning work at the facility.
The lawsuit alleges employees took leftover medications from former patients and placed them in a cabinet labeled “house stock.” Cobbler claims coworkers told her they would use medications from the cabinet when a patient needed a certain drug but did not have a prescription for it.
