CONCORD, N.H. – A New Hampshire judge has dismissed an 84-year-old doctor's attempt to regain her license, which she had surrendered before a disciplinary hearing partly over her not using a computer. The state challenged Dr. Anna Konopka's record keeping, prescribing practices and medical decision making. They say not using a computer prevents her from accessing and using the state's mandatory electronic drug monitoring program. The program requires prescribers of opioids to register in an effort reduce overdoses. Konopka surrendered her license, but later requested an injunction allowing her to continue her practice.

Dr. Anna Konopka voluntary gave up her license in October after the state Board of Medicine challenged her record keeping, drug prescribing practices and medical decision making. Part of the problem is that the New London doctor doesn't use a computer and therefore doesn't participate in the state's mandatory drug monitoring program.
