What Happened
At its June 21, 2024 meeting, the Texas Medical Board entered an agreed order publicly referring a physician to the Texas Physician Health Program.
The Board found the physician suffers from impairment and was terminated by his employer based on unprofessional conduct and diverting fentanyl, versed, and dilaudid from patients.
What the Record Shows
Agreed order publicly referring the physician to the Texas Physician Health Program (TXPHP)
Why It Matters for Diversion Programs
This entry comes from a primary source rather than a federal enforcement release, and it is recorded as reported: Diverting fentanyl, versed, and dilaudid from patients; impairment; unprofessional conduct. Board and news records are a lagging indicator - by the time a licensing authority or a reporter learns of a diversion, the diversion was normally detected internally first, which makes each entry a signal that inventory reconciliation, waste observation or dispensing oversight failed earlier.
