‘I can’t walk I hurt so damn bad’: Facebook messages from Anchorage nurse practitioner and patients shown during court case

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - The trial for an Anchorage nurse practitioner continued Wednesday morning with the prosecution presenting copious amounts of digital records showing Kris Kile refilled or prescribed oxycodone to patients, with some being refilled before a patient should have run out of pills.

Kris Kile faces charges of misconduct involving a controlled substance in the second and third degree related to oxycodone, fentanyl and meperidine.

In total, there are 13 counts involving a controlled substance in the second and third degree related to oxycodone, fentanyl, and meperidine prescriptions.

Wednesday morning, at the defense table, Kile took numerous notes that she often presented to her attorney.

Medicaid investigator Jeanette Bartz spent most of the day going through Facebook messages between Kile — who also used a Facebook account under Kris Rhodes — and patients, as well as a federal and state database showing what people are prescribed for certain medications.

In a message from 2016, a woman wrote: Kris, you didn’t cancelled my OxyContin did you that’s the only way I have been functioning . “I can’t walk I hurt so damn bad. I never had this much trouble getting this prescription.”

That same woman wrote: “Kris Walgreens is giving me hell about my oxycodone can you cal (sic) his ass”

Kile responded: “I talked with then... They will fill.”

In numerous Facebook messages, people plead with Kile to refill oxycodone prescriptions because of pain they were experiencing, or on behalf of a spouse.

People often complained to Kile that pharmacies would say the refills weren’t requested and couldn’t be filled, and worried about Kile being on vacation before they had access to prescriptions.

The trial continues Thursday.
