water is high. Don’t try to go
through it and definitely good
reminder, right, Frank, thank
you.
>> Alright chances are in the
past year. You or someone you
love is that contact with a
doctor, especially during this
pandemic but have you ever
stopped to ask just how much
you really know about that.
Doc. Yeah. It’s an important
question and tonight KPRC 2
investigator Joel eisenbaum is
revealing the
doctors who’ve had some
trouble. One of them is about
to go to prison, but he still
has his license and he still
seeing patients.
>> With this seemingly never
ending pandemic. A lot of us
are counting on doctors more
than ever. But the bare naked
truth is they’re not all
created equal.
>> You still seeing female
patients service. And of these convicted him of
And of these convicted him of
the Faulkner. FAA said you’re
the victim. on the Oscars KPRC.
2 investigates has been on the
trail of doctors, doctors who
are in
>> the trouble most patients
don’t realize trouble that
makes us wonder how some of
them are still practicing.
And this little factoid is
not comforting.
>> I will say there are times
when the first time we learn
whatever licensees has been
arrested or even convicted is
3 during a news report in
Baytown. There’s a pain clinic
and this man who do students
Siad is the doctor who runs
it. I mean, you’ve been
convicted of a serious crime by
the should be. Yeah. You’re
going to report to prison in a
few months yeah. Doctors say it
has been convicted of a federal
crime pleading guilty to
conspiracy for funneling lab
testing to a certain company
for hundreds of thousands of
dollars in kickbacks. You have
to report to prison in July.
I’m many honest. I mean, I on a
large know me.
I’m not. Did anything wrong.
But saying has a troubled
history with the Texas medical
board to in 2016, the board
found said failed to meet an
adequate standard of care in
2019. The board found he was
prescribing drugs to patients
he should not have been.
>> And just
last year the board ruled the
doctor behaved inappropriately
with 3 female patients. Did
you inappropriately touch any
of these women. The Modi them.
I’m sitting this chemical one
ridiculous isn’t here. One
doctor. my wife in
next door Tsai and kept his
medical license through all of
that has it right now is still
seeing patients. The Texas
medical board would not talk
to us specifically about any
doctor. But as a patient you
should know the process for
permanently pulling a docks
license does not happen
quickly. Not all of that
schedule is under our control
because we now have an outside
judge and they have their own
scheduling issues and they have
to me. But the quickest, they
would really ever happen would
be about 9 to 12 months and it
can take longer that gray area
is often unknown to patients.
And even if you look at doctor
up on the
embassy’s website.
>> You may not be getting the
full
>> they gave us a on youtube.
You can find an advertisement
for a family doctor who
practices in now been by the
name of Dale Massad doctor
Musser has not been convicted
of
any crime, but the Texas
medical board has barred him
from seeing female patients
that
do anything.
>> You know, doing anything
wrong. Can you tell us a little
bit about what happened at the
hospital care.
>> ATM be documents reveal that
at this clear Lake hospital
mask or allegedly had
consensual sex with a patient
in her hospital room that not
only violates ethical standards
but in Texas under certain
circumstances. It can
be illegal. No police report or
criminal complaint was filed
against master and he has not
been criminally charged, but
he’s no longer on staff at the
hospital and a patient of his
told us the doctors posted
signs alerting patients.
He can no longer
treat females. What we don’t
know is when he posted those
notices. It’s clear to play
harder on the point of all of
this is that patients are often
in the dark. The truth is the
Texas medical board largely
relies on doctors to
self-report legal trouble for
some of our licensees if they
get arrested on Tuesday, we’ll
get a push notification by 4.
Don’t as he said, some bats
because finger printing doctors
is relatively new. So doctors
who have been practicing for
decades were never
fingerprinted and are not
required to be in the name of
public safety.
>> In the interim. We do
require physicians. They
renewed every 2 years and on
Israel’s they are required to
answer questions, including
whether they’ve been arrested
during that time frame.

medical doctors but other
medical professionals also our
conversation with the Texas
medical board is pretty
revealing. We’ve posted the raw
