“MCS" doctor shut down

The Maryland State Board of Physicians has ordered Grace Ziem, M.D. to cease medical practice. The summary suspension order was based on the board's conclusion that Ziem was habitually intoxicated by alcohol and ordered excessive amounts of controlled substances for herself and others. The suspension order noted that Ziem practiced medicine 3½ days per week, seeing two or three patients per month for face-to-face office visits and having teleconference consultations with four or five patients a day, many of whom were from out-of-state. From 1994 through 2000, Ziem and an associate served as founding directors of MCS Referral and Resources, Inc., a nonprofit organization whose objective was to legitimatize the medically-rejected diagnostic concept of multiple chemical sensitivity. In 2006, the organization's Web site described her as "an occupational and environmental medicine physician who has specialized in chemical injury and sensitivity since 1987."
