The Texas Medical Board temporarily suspended the license of Dr. Raynaldo Rivera Ortiz, Jr. on Friday calling him practicing medicine a "continuing threat to public welfare".Less than a week after having his license suspended, Dallas Police arrested a North Texas doctor accused of tampering with IV bags on Wednesday.
Anesthesiologist Dr. Raynaldo Ortiz Jr. had his license suspended by the Texas Medical Board on Friday calling him practicing medicine a "continuing threat to public welfare".Dr. Ortiz was a part of an ongoing criminal investigation following serious cardiac complications and one physician's death connected with Ortiz's presence at the Baylor Scott & White Surgicare North Dallas facility from May through September 2022, according to the Board.
The medical board says Ortiz was seen on surveillance footage depositing single IV bags into a warmer in the hall outside operating rooms. Investigators found when he put a bag in the warmer, a patient would suffer serious complications shortly after. On June 21, 2022, a fellow physician from the Surgicare facility took one of the IV bags home with her when she was sick to rehydrate. When she inserted the IV at home she almost immediately had a heart attack and died.Inspection of the IV bags found tiny holes in the plastic wrap around the bags. Tests on the bags found they contained the local anesthetic bupivacaine, but were not labeled as such, according to the board.
