Legal Question in Legal Ethics in New Mexico
civil or criminal?
lets say i was a medical assistant, meaning i have no license to give out prescriptions. My physician was out of the office and a regular called and explained they were in pain. i gave in and called in a refill on pain killers for that patient, that patient then was delivered to the emergency room and later died in ICU. would this be a criminal or civil case?

It could be both. Criminal for the unauthorized script, and civil for wrongful death.
