Division of Administrative Hearings, Florida
Filed: Jan. 23, 1991
The issue in this case is whether Respondent is guilty, with respect to two patients, of exercising influence within a patient-physician relationship for the purpose of engaging a patient in sexual activity, engaging in sexual misconduct in the practice of medicine, failing to practice medicine with the minimum standard of care by engaging the patients in sexual activity and performing inappropriate thermography, and failing to keep written medical records justifying the course of treatment of the patients. If Respondent is guilty of any of these allegations, another issue is what penalty should be imposed.Recommended $10,000.00 fine, refund of all fees billed, and two- year suspension for Respondent who fondled two patients.
