Tulsa's Camelot Cancer Care Owner In Trouble After Patient Dies

The owner of Tulsa's Camelot Cancer Care is in trouble again after a patient of hers died last Saturday. Now, a flurry of cease and desist and restraining orders have been issued against Maureen Long and her assistant.

The Food and Drug Administration shut down Camelot last year, but it's still open for business and accepting new patients.

But now a 71-year-old woman is dead, after receiving treatments from Long - treatments the state said Long mixed up in her basement and administered in Tulsa hotel rooms.

In the spring of 2013, the FDA raided Long and the Camelot Cancer Care offices and shut her down. The administration accused her of using drugs to treat cancer patients that were not FDA approved.

No charges were ever filed against Long, however, so she got right back into business.

Her website is operational and the current voicemail says they're taking new patients.

Police say Karin Kloeckener's doctors told her she had five months to live, so she came from Florida to Tulsa last month, paid more than $1,800 and received treatments from Long on October 22nd, 23rd, 24th and 25th, then died November 1st.

The state says Long prepared the drugs in the basement of her south Tulsa home and administered them at various hotels around town.

They say the conditions were unsterile and Long and her assistant were inserting PICC lines - a heavy duty IV - into a vein in the chest near the heart to administer the drug.

According to the state, Long and her assistant are not registered pharmacists or licensed to provide the medical care and were not using proper disposal procedures, they're accused of throwing the medical waste directly into the trash cans.

The F.B.I. served a search warrant at Long's home on Thursday, but wouldn't say what they were looking for or what they found. They said they were assisting the F.D.A.

When asked why someone would seek treatment at Camelot even after Long's many issues, the Department of Heath gave one answer, desperation.

Kloeckener's death is being treated as unattended and suspicious until the medical examiner does an autopsy.

Long is supposed to be in court next Thursday on the cease and desist and restraining orders, but right now there are no criminal charges filed against her.

If Long ignores the temporary cease and desist order, the worst thing that can happen to her is a fine of $100 a day.
