Willeford Appointed to Board
Governor Rick Perry has
appointed George Willeford III, M.D., to the board.
Dr. Willeford attended medical school at the
Dr. Willeford replaces Larry Anderson, M.D., who
resigned from the board. Dr. Anderson served from August, 2005, until August of
this year. During his time on the board he served as chairman of the Licensure
Committee, chairman of the Ad Hoc Committee to Study Chapter 192 and as a
member of the Executive Committee, the Disciplinary Process Review Committee
and the Ad Hoc Committee for Scope of Practice. At the October board meeting,
board members thanked Dr. Anderson for his service and presented him with a
proclamation and a plaque.
TMB
Conducts Town Hall Meetings throughout
Over the course of 14 weeks this summer, the
Texas Medical Board conducted 13 Town Hall meetings, visiting every region of
the state. Almost 450 people came to the meetings, the vast majority of whom
were physicians. Board members and staff listened to a lot of complaints, heard
some good ideas and answered many, many questions about the Board and its
practices.
TMB has already begun to act on some of the good
suggestions that were offered this summer and at meetings earlier in the year:
·
Administrative violations: The Board heard numerous complaints
regarding administrative complaints and the time required to resolve them. Many
doctors suggested that TMB should devote far less
attention to administrative violations and concentrate more of its resources
toward prosecuting doctors who pose a threat to the public. The Board agrees.
Earlier this year TMB instituted a “fast track” procedure for administrative
violations. The procedure allows these minor violations to be processed and
resolved quickly.
·
Education: Many suggested that TMB should provide more
education for the profession to help physicians avoid violations in the first
place. The Board agrees that both licensees and the public are much better
served if a violation never occurs. To that end, TMB included in its
Legislative Appropriation Request to the 81st Texas Legislature a request for
funding for an educational component. If the request is approved, TMB will
offer three levels of instruction. The first level would target medical students
still in school. The second would be for doctors just completing their
residencies, and the third would be for mid-career doctors.
·
Complaint response time: A frequent complaint was that TMB does not
allow a physician sufficient time to respond during the initial 30-day review
period before a complaint is filed for investigation. Because the timeline is
statutory, this will require a legislative fix. TMB has been talking to key
legislators about extending this initial review time to 45 days so the physician
will have 28 days to provide an initial response. Currently, 41 per cent of
jurisdictional complaints are dismissed after this initial review. If more
physicians can provide better responses at this initial stage, both TMB and the
licensees will benefit from saved resources.
It is clear from the comments the Board received
at the meetings that there is a lot of mistrust of TMB, much of it related to
misinformation. A possible source of misunderstanding is the confidentiality
that surrounds individual cases. That said, the
perception of TMB can be exaggerated and inaccurate, like a caricature. The
Board recognizes that the physicians who face Board orders make up a very small
subset of the 59,000 physicians licensed in
The Board also heard that there is frustration in
the medical community about the rapidly increasing number of complaints filed
every year and the time it takes to resolve them. While a case is pending, a
doctor must work under a cloud of suspicion, even in those cases in which the
complaint eventually will be dismissed. And the process, the Board readily
admits, is taking too long. The number of complaints the Board receives shot up
a couple years ago and shows no signs of easing, resulting in a longer
resolution time for all complaints. TMB is complaint-driven. When complaints
are received, the agency is compelled by law to investigate them. The increase
has placed an added burden on the staff and has slowed the process. TMB has
asked the Texas Legislature for additional employees and appropriations to help
break the logjam. Unnecessarily prolonged investigations are a disservice to
both the public and to physicians being investigated and detract from the
mission of public protection.
The goal for these meetings was to dispel
misperceptions and ease frustrations by offering a candid discussion, answering
questions and presenting ideas in an open, informal setting. The Board also
wanted to collect ideas about what TMB could do to make adherence to the rules
easier for physicians without compromising on its vital core mission, which is
to protect the public. The Board wanted to achieve a higher level of
interaction between the regulator and the regulated.
On these counts, the meetings were successful.
TMB learned a lot from the doctors who attended the
meetings, and participants left with a better appreciation of what the board
seeks to do and the reasoning behind the methods used to accomplish it.
The Board is still analyzing comments and
suggestions collected at the Town Hall meetings, but board members and staff
know there are other good ideas that were offered for consideration. The Board
will be reviewing these further, looking
for those suggestions that will help ease the regulatory burden without
sacrificing TMB’s mission.

Board
Names Interim Executive Director, Medical Director
The board has named Mari
Robinson, J.D., as interim Executive Director of the agency following the
retirement of former executive director Donald W. Patrick, M.D., J.D. The board
also named Alan T. Moore, M.D., as interim medical director of the agency.
Robinson, originally from
Dr.
Moore graduated with honors from U.T. Austin and received his medical degree
from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical
School, where he was a member of Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Society. He completed
his anatomic and clinical pathology residency at
Dr.
Moore is board certified in anatomic pathology, clinical pathology and
hematopathology. He has practiced in Austin for more than 20 years and has
served as president of Clinical Pathology Associates as well as on the board of
Clinical Pathology Laboratories; medical director of Seton Medical Center
Laboratory; chief of Staff at Seton Medical Center; and president of the Texas
Society of Pathologists. He has also served as the transplant pathologist for
the Seton Medical Center Cardiac Transplant Program.
TMB Issues Record Number of Physician
Licenses
With the help of
additional resources appropriated by the Texas Legislature, along with some
streamlining of its processes, the Texas Medical Board set a record in Fiscal
Year 2008 by licensing more than 3,600 doctors. This surpassed the previous
record, set in FY 2007, by almost 300 licenses. TMB also eliminated an
application backlog that had grown to more than 500 applications by February.
The Board also took steps to improve efficiency in the application processing
system by conducting a statewide series of licensing seminars to provide
training for credentialing, recruiting and other health care entity staff
responsible for assisting physicians with their licensure applications. Fewer
mistakes on completed applications will usually result in faster processing
time.
“Texas is a popular place
to practice medicine, as evidenced by the dramatic increase over the past few
years in the number of doctors who apply to be licensed here,” said Dr. Roberta
Kalafut, TMB’s board president. “We have applicants coming to
“Our staff has responded
to this greatly increased and varied demand,” Dr. Kalafut said. “We are issuing
more licenses than ever, more quickly than ever, and we have eliminated the
backlog of applications awaiting processing, all
without compromising the quality of physicians licensed in
TMB licensed 3,621
doctors in FY 2008, an increase of almost nine percent over the former record
of 3,324 licenses that were issued in FY 2007. The 2007 record eclipsed by
almost 500 licenses the previous record, 2,828 licenses, which were issued in
FY 2002.
Processing times for
licenses also have been greatly reduced, and exceed legislative requirements.
The Board licensed 1,549 doctors in the fourth quarter of 2008 in an average of
42 days. The Texas Legislature in 2007 appropriated six additional employees
for the licensing division, while mandating that licenses be issued in an
average of 51 days or less.
To build on this success,
during the spring and summer of 2008 TMB conducted 13 licensing seminars in all
regions of the state. About 200 individuals attended the three-hour seminars,
which offered in-depth instruction on proper preparation of a physician
licensure application, with an emphasis on the most common mistakes found on
applications. If applications are complete and correct when TMB receives them,
processing can be completed much more quickly.
The training is helpful
because of the complexity of license applications. Before TMB can license a
physician, it first must determine that the physician’s education and training
are substantially equivalent to the medical education and training provided in
Almost 30 percent of the physicians licensed in

Lock up the Trip Scripts!
Physicians need to keep
their triplicate prescription pads locked up, according to the Texas Department
of Public Safety, which issues the forms and regulates their use for prescribing
Schedule II drugs.
DPS investigators are
finding that many physicians leave the pads in treatment rooms, lying on desks
or in jacket pockets. They are then vulnerable to theft by patients or staff.
Staff members who steal prescription pads sometimes move from job to job before
they can be caught, making money on sales of the drugs, which have a high
street value and which are commonly abused.
These thefts are often
not detected immediately because the thief takes only one form, or takes forms
out of sequence from deep in the pad. With the high quality of copying
machines, thieves then make multiple copies. The theft is only discovered when
DPS tracking catches the same number being reused. Each fraudulent use of one
of these prescriptions is a crime, and it endangers the public because of the
drugs’ deadly potential.
When issued their DPS
Controlled Substances Registration permit, physicians are given a copy of the
rules regarding safeguarding the prescriptions, but busy physicians often don’t
have time to familiarize themselves with the regulations. DPS recommends that
physicians handle the prescription pad like they would money. Never leave a pad
in an unlocked drawer or lying out in a treatment room. Keep it on your person
when you’re using it, and when you’re not using it lock it in a file cabinet,
desk drawer or drug cabinet and keep track of the key.
Failure to properly safeguard triplicate prescription forms can
result in disciplinary action by both DPS and TMB. DPS actions can range from a
reprimand to revocation of the controlled substances permit; TMB actions can
include reprimands, fines or other penalties.
Disciplinary Actions
Since
the Spring 2008 issue of the Medical Board Bulletin,
the Board has taken disciplinary action on 174 physicians and two physician
assistants. The following is a summary of those actions.
QUALITY OF CARE VIOLATIONS
AGARWAL, VIRENDRA KUMAR, M.D, LIC. #L7293,
On October 10, 2008, the Board and Dr. Agarwal entered into
an Agreed Order requiring that within one year Dr. Agarwal complete 10 hours of
continuing medical education in medical record-keeping and at least three hours
in treatment of orthopedic injuries for primary care physicians. The action was
based on Dr. Agarwal’s administering an excessive number of Kenolog injections
to a patient’s Achilles area.
ATLAS, RUTH M., M.D., LIC. #G7616,
On August 29, 2008, the Board and
Dr. Atlas entered into an Agreed Order requiring that for two years Dr. Atlas
not self-prescribe or prescribe to family members; not delegate prescriptive
authority to physician assistants or advance practice nurses; have her medical
records reviewed by a physician monitor; take and pass the medical
jurisprudence examination within one year; obtain 10 hours of continuing medical
education in medical record-keeping and 10 hours of CME in ethics each year (in
addition to annual requirements); and pay an administrative penalty of $2,000.
The action was based on Dr. Atlas’ self-prescribing, failure to keep adequate
medical records of medications she was using to self-treat, failure to
adequately supervise a member of her staff, and delegating medical
responsibility to a member of her staff who was not qualified for such
responsibility.
BROWN, JEFFREY JOHN, M.D., LIC. #L4267,
On August 29, 2008, the Board and
Dr. Brown entered into an Agreed Order requiring that he obtain eight hours of
continuing medical education in intensive care within one year (in addition to
annual requirements) and pay an administrative penalty of $1,000. The action
was based on Dr. Brown’s failure to meet the standard of care by not
reassessing a patient in-person prior to the patient suffering a “code blue,”
despite being contacted that the patient was having difficulties.
CREEDON-MCVEAN, MORRIS,
D.O., LIC.
#F6549,
On
DIMAZANA,
EPIFANIO V., M.D., LIC. #E2188,
On August 29, 2008, the Board and
Dr. Dimazana entered into an Agreed Order requiring that Dr. Dimazana obtain 10
hours continuing medical education in ethics within one year (in addition to
annual requirements) and pay an administrative penalty of $2,000. The action
was based on Dr. Dimazana resigning his hospital admitting privileges after
disciplinary action there, and for his failure to meet the standard of care,
negligent practice, and lack of diligence on two occasions when he was
unavailable or did not respond to attempted contacts by hospital staff concerning
the admission of patients who had presented at the ER.
FRASER, RONALD LEO, M.D., LIC. #E7929,
On June
27, 2008, the Board and Dr. Fraser entered into an Agreed Order that includes a
public reprimand and requires that Dr. Fraser do the following: attend a
Board-approved course in boundary violations within one year; submit 30 medical
charts for review, and if found deficient, be subject to quarterly reviews of
charts by the Board for one year; have a female chaperone present during exams
on female patients and document the medical record accordingly; take and pass
the medical jurisprudence examination within one year; obtain 10 hours of
continuing medical education in pharmacology/drug interactions and medical
record-keeping for each year the order is in effect; and pay an administrative
penalty of $10,000. The action was based on Dr. Fraser’s admitted sexual
relationship in 2005 to 2006 with a patient he had treated since 1998, during
which time he continued to prescribe excessive and nontherapeutic amounts of
pain medication without adequate documentation in the patient’s medical record.
GARCIA, JOSEPH EDWARD, M.D., LIC. #H0368,
On August 29, 2008, the Board and
Dr. Garcia entered into an Agreed Order requiring that he obtain 16 hours of
continuing medical education in general surgery for soft tissue in extremities
within one year (in addition to annual requirements) and pay an administrative
penalty of $500. The action was based on the finding that Dr. Garcia employed a
fluoroscopic probing technique in close proximity to a nerve that resulted in
an injury.
HARKINS, ANNA MARIE JR.,
D.O., LIC. #F7257,
On
October 10, 2008, the Board and Dr. Harkins entered into an Agreed Order
requiring that she do the following: within one year of the order, obtain 10
hours of continuing medical education in medical record-keeping; within two
years enroll in and successfully complete the physician-patient communications
course offered by the University of California-San Diego Physician Assessment
and Clinical Education (PACE) program or an equivalent course; within two
years, obtain at least 50 hours of continuing medical education in the area of
continuing cardiac care; perform 50 hours of non-medical community service; and
pay an administrative penalty of $2,500. The action was based on Dr. Harkins’
failure to meet the standard of care in the treatment of a cardiac patient with
regard to the patient’s follow-up care and treatment plan.
HIRSCH, DAVID M., D.O., LIC. #J3119,
On August 29, 2008, the Board and
Dr. Hirsch entered into an Agreed Order requiring that he obtain 10 hours of
continuing medical education in minimizing risks associated with medical
procedures within one year (in addition to annual requirements) and pay an
administrative penalty of $2,000. The action was based on Dr. Hirsch’s having administered an injection on the incorrect
side of a patient’s back.
HOBLIT, DAVID L., M.D., LIC. #E0056,
On
IBONI, ROLAND D., D.O., LIC. #L7424,
On August 29, 2008, the Board
and Dr. Iboni entered into an Agreed Order requiring that he obtain eight hours
of continuing medical education in neurological trauma within one year (in
addition to annual requirements) and pay an administrative penalty of $500. The
action was based on his having failed to properly evaluate and diagnose a
subluxation and spinal fracture in a patient.
KANNEGANTI, RAVIKUMAR, M.D., LIC. #H6867,
On June 27, 2008, the Board
and Dr. Kanneganti entered into a two-year Agreed Order requiring Dr.
Kanneganti to obtain continuing medical education, including 10 hours in
chemical dependency within one year of the effective date of the order and 10
hours in psychopharmacology for each of the two years of the order; and to pay
an administrative penalty of $500. The action was based on Dr. Kanneganti’s
failure to exercise diligence in ensuring that a patient followed his
instruction on the use of dangerous drugs he had prescribed, and his failure to
stop prescribing the medications after he knew or should have known the patient
was abusing the drugs.
MECH,
On June 27, 2008, the Board
and Dr. Mech entered into a five-year Agreed Order that requires him to be
subject to a Board chart monitor’s quarterly review of his medical records; to
obtain, on a yearly basis, 20 hours of continuing medical education in child
and adolescent psychopathology (10 hours) and child and adolescent
psychopharmacology (10 hours); to obtain, each year for the first two years, 10
hours of continuing medical education in medical record-keeping; and to pay an
administrative penalty of $2,500. The action was based on Dr. Mech’s use of a
variety of psychotropic medications, some in high doses, in the treatment of a
child. In addition, in the child’s treatment, Dr. Mech had failed to document
adequate medical records, and had employed a test normally used in research to
assist his clinical diagnosis.
MYINT, DANIEL THET, M.D., LIC. #H8550,
On August 29, 2008, the Board and
Dr. Myint entered into an Agreed Order requiring that he obtain 10 hours of
continuing medical education in the diagnosis and treatment of an acute abdomen
in pediatric patients within one year (in addition to annual requirements) and
pay an administrative penalty of $750. The action was based on Dr. Myint’s
failure to promptly refer a child with an acute abdomen to an emergency room or
surgeon for additional evaluation

ORDER MODIFICATION
SPINKS, DAVID WAYNE,
D.O., Lic. #F4557,
On August 29,
2008, the Board and Dr. Spinks entered into an Agreed Order Modifying Prior
Order. Dr. Spinks was under a 2005 order, modified and extended by two years in
2007, that was issued for inappropriate prescribing, engaging in a personal
relationship with a patient, and inadequate medical records. This order further
modifies and adds to the 2005 order and requires that Dr. Spinks obtain 10
hours of continuing medical education in medical record-keeping and 10 hours in
other subject areas to be completed no later than October 7, 2009, and that Dr.
Spinks take and pass the medical jurisprudence examination not later than
October 7, 2010. This order further clarifies that Dr. Spinks’ 2005 order will
not terminate sooner than October 7, 2009. The action was a response to Dr.
Spinks’ encountering difficulty in obtaining all 20 hours of continuing medical
education in medical record-keeping, as originally ordered in 2005. Otherwise,
Dr. Spinks has been in compliance with the 2005 order but the problem with the
educational requirement presented the potential for a non-compliance violation.
As such, the action was designed to assist Dr. Spinks, ensure his compliance,
and carry out the Board’s educational intent set forth in the requirements of
the 2005 order.
TEMPORARY SUSPENSION ORDERS
CRANDALL, DORA BUSBY, M.D., Lic. #G5884, New

suspended Dr. Crandall’s medical license after determining that Dr. Crandall’s
medical practice was a continuing threat to the public. The length of the temporary
suspension is indefinite and remains in effect until the Board takes further
action. The temporary suspension was initiated after the Board investigated Dr.
Crandall’s treatment practices in 13 patient cases. Due to Dr. Crandall’s
failure to properly evaluate the patients, failure to document physical
examinations, failure to appropriately prescribe medications, and failure to
provide medical justifications for numerous narcotic prescriptions, Dr.
Crandall was found to present a continuing threat to public safety.
MASSEY, CHARLES R. JR., M.D., Lic. # G5341,
Fredericksburg , TX
On June 13, 2008, a Disciplinary
Panel of the Board issued an Order of Temporary Suspension Without Notice of
Hearing, which temporarily suspended Dr. Massey’s medical license after
determining that Dr. Massey’s continuation in the practice of medicine presents
a continuing threat to the public. The length of the temporary suspension is
indefinite and remains in effect until the Board takes further action. The
temporary suspension was initiated after the Board attempted to investigate if
Dr. Massey was prescribing human growth hormone without medical necessity. When
the Board subpoenaed medical records from Dr. Massey, he refused to produce
them. Based on Dr. Massey’s intentional obstruction of a Board investigation,
he was found to present a continuing threat to public safety. On August 15,
2008, a Disciplinary Panel of the Board issued an Order of Temporary Suspension
With Notice which temporarily suspended his license after concluding that his
continuation in the practice of medicine is a continuing threat to the public
health and safety. The Order of Temporary Suspension shall remain in effect
until superseded by further order of Board. The Board had concerns regarding
Dr. Massey’s alleged prescribing and administering of human growth hormone and
other substances to patients upon their request and without medical
justification. When the Board issued investigative subpoenas for Dr. Massey’s
records, he repeatedly interfered with the investigation and refused to produce
any records. The Disciplinary Panel’s decision was based on Dr. Massey’s
unprofessional conduct in obstructing the Board’s investigation and refusing to
