Texas Medical Board Bulletin The newsletter of the Texas Medical Board Fall 2008 Volume 6, No. 1

Dr. Willeford Appointed to Board Governor Rick Perry has appointed George Willeford III, M.D., to the board. Dr. Willeford attended medical school at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Branch in Dallas, where he was a member of the Alpha Omega Alpha National Medical Honor Society. He completed his internship and residency at Parkland Memorial Hospital and the Dallas Veterans Administration Hospital. He is board certified in both internal medicine and gastroenterology by the American Board of Internal Medicine. He holds memberships in the Travis County Medical Society, Texas Medical Association and the American College of Physicians. He is a Fellow of the American College of Gastroenterology and has served as secretary-treasurer of the Austin Society of Internal Medicine, a member of the board of directors of the Seton Physician�s Hospital Network, and a member, appointed by then-Governor George W. Bush, of the Managed Health Care Committee. He was also on the board of directors and was chief of internal medicine at Seton Medical Center. Dr. Willeford has practiced in Austin since 1980. 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 Texas 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 Texas. However, the Board is charged with enforcing the laws surrounding the practice of medicine in this state and will do what is required to fulfill that charge. TMB hopes increased communication and education will help everyone better understand the regulation of the medical profession in this state. 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 Grand Prairie, began her career at TMB as a litigation attorney in 2001 and has served as Director of Enforcement since 2006. She received her B.A. in government (cum laude) from Angelo State University and her J.D. from the University of Texas School of Law, where she also taught as an adjunct professor for the advocacy program. Prior to joining TMB, she worked in a law firm as well as for the Texas Office of the Attorney General. She is active in the Austin Young Lawyers Association and other civic and professional organizations. 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 Parkland Memorial

Hospital in Dallas, where he served as chief resident during his fourth year. He also completed a hematopathology fellowship at Parkland. 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 Texas from all over the country and all over the world. � 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 Texas.� 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 Texas. This can prove challenging, as TMB last year licensed physicians who were trained in 45 states and 83 other countries. Almost 30 percent of the physicians licensed in Texas last year, 1,032, received their medical educations at international schools.

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.

ORDER MODIFICATION SPINKS, DAVID WAYNE, D.O., LIC. #F4557, DEER PARK, TX 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 BRAUNFELS, TX

On July 31, 2008, a Disciplinary Panel of the Board issued an Order of Temporary Suspension With Notice of Hearing, which temporarily 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 recognize the Board�s authority.
