The issues in this case are whether Respondent: (1) made deceptive, untrue, or fraudulent representations in or related to the practice of medicine; (2) failed to keep appropriate medical records with respect to Patient T.G.; (3) fell below the minimum acceptable standard of care in his treatment of T.G.; (4) misrepresented or concealed a material fact during the course of the disciplinary process; and/or (5) improperly interfered with Petitioner's investigation. If so, it will be necessary to determine whether Petitioner should impose discipline on Respondent's medical license within the applicable penalty guidelines, or take some other action.Respondent altered a patient's medical records to bolster his legal position when threatened with a lawsuit, a fact which he concealed from Petitioner, giving rise to the inference that he committed malpractice.
