Camden doctor accepts conditional license

AUGUSTA – A doctor has accepted a conditional license in a consent agreement signed with the Maine Board of Licensure in Medicine on April 10.

Karl “Fritz” Sitterly of Camden must abstain from all legal and illegal drugs as well as alcohol and undergo substance abuse monitoring. He may have only medications prescribed by a Maine Board of Licensure in Medicine-approved physician and must notify the board of prescriptions within 48 hours. He also must have a physician monitor his practice.

Sitterly’s medical license was suspended on Jan. 31, 2006, after the board reviewed information indicating he was abusing Benadryl. He suspension continued until this month when Sitterly was able to produce mental and physical evaluations. Sitterly admitted to abusing Benadryl.
