Scott Miller (pictured) is Washougal, Washington, based PA that has been suspended after allegations that he harassed hospitals and inappropriately prescribed drugs to patients to treat COVID-19
A Washington state-based physician assistant (PA) has had his license suspended by a medical board for treating Covid patients with the anti-parasite drug ivermectin and 'harassing' hospitals to do likewise.
Scott Miller of Washougal, Washington, had his medical license suspended by the Washington Medical Commission (WMC) over allegations that his 'treatment of COVID-19 patients fell below the standard of care.'
Miller is accused of recommending ivermectin, vitamin D and vitamin C supplements among other non-approved treatment to patients who had contracted the virus.
He also prescribed drugs to at least one patient that he had never examined.
Additionally, the PA is accused of harassing hospitals to treat patients with ivermectin, and even once lied and said he was a patient's brother in order to recommend certain treatments to the patient's doctor.
'Miller began a public campaign promoting ivermectin as a curative for COVID-19, and prescribed it without adequate examination to at least one person, with no reliable clinical studies that establish its efficacy in preventing or treating COVID-19,' the WMC wrote in a statement about the suspension.
'Allegations against Miller also include: interfering with the care of hospitalized COVID-19 patients, engaging in a hostile and and threatening public campaign against both hospitals and individual physicians regarding COVID-19 treatment.'
The commission also alleges that Miller lied on his initial application to get his license by not disclosing that he was previously under investigation by the State of California's PA Board.

Miller has been suspended after his 'treatment of COVID-19 patients fell below the standard of care', per the Washington Medical Conditions. He has been accused of telling patients that his practice, Miller Family Pediatrics (pictured), does not use masks
The Columbian reports that there have been more than a dozen complaints about Miller.
Complaints include a November 23, 2020 report that Miller gloated about not using masks at his practice, Miller Family Pediatrics; teaching patients not to use masks; and sharing false information about the virus and the pandemic.
Miller is a known critic of masking and vaccine mandates, according to The Columbian, even showing up at school board meetings in Washington to protest mandates and push ivermectin as a 'cure' for the virus.
He previously practiced in California, where he had gotten himself into hot water as well.
Miller was accused by the California medical board of providing care without a supervising physician's authorization, writing prescriptions without examining patients and for failing to document patients' medical records.
He has 20 days to appeal the suspension. His practice did not immediately respond to a DailyMail.com request for comment.
A GoFundMe has been set up by a local resident to support Miller and his family (pictured) after his suspension
