He pleaded guilty to the charges in 2011 and spent 60 days in confinement. The Navy booted him after about a year in the Navy.<\/p>\n<p>Two years later, at a hospital in California, working as a surgical technician again, he was caught stealing more drugs. They fired him. The following year, he was working at two hospitals in Arizona, and guess what? He was fired for stealing drugs from them, too. Within three months of beginning work. So, he moved to Colorado and he was working in another hospital, and since old habits are hard to break, a few months later, he popped hot on a urinalysis test after he was caught stealing drugs, once again. This time the hospital called back 2900 patients to be tested for Hepatitis B and C and HIV.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, you know what comes next, right? <a href=\"http:\/\/www.9news.com\/news\/crime\/surgery-tech-accused-of-stealing-pain-meds-returns-to-court\/48999924\">His lawyer says<\/a> that it&#8217;s our fault because he caught the PTSD in his few months of being in Afghanistan;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Allen&#8217;s defense attorney says Allen suffers from PTSD from his yearlong service with the Navy. He never experienced battle, but his attorney said he witnessed a lot of trauma and horror in Afghanistan.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, well, it sounds to me like he had a problem before he joined the Navy. It also seems like this healthcare system isn&#8217;t doing something right if they keep putting this guy in circumstances where his predictable behavior continues. Busted five times in the last five years seems like a pattern of bad behavior in which someone might want to intercede at this point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of our fans send us links to the story of Rocky Allen, who was a &hellip; <a title=\"Rocky Allen; Navy surgical tech criminal\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=64592\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Rocky Allen; Navy surgical tech criminal<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":64593,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[119],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-64592","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-navy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64592","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=64592"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64592\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/64593"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=64592"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=64592"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=64592"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
