Anesthesiologist's license suspended; Incidents at Dallas surgery center under review

- The Texas Medical Board took emergency action Friday to suspend the license of a Dallas anesthesiologist suspected of tampering with IV bags.

The suspension comes after the Texas Medical Board called an emergency meeting Friday after hearing from federal law enforcement. It said it moved quickly because of what it considers imminent peril to the public's health. The Board determined evidence exists linking Ortiz to compromised IV bags found at the surgical center.

The Board said lab tests on IV bags taken from the same warmer found"visible tiny holes in the plastic wrap around the bags." It said those bags contained bupivacaine, but were not labeled as such. According to the Board, on that day,"a fellow physician at Surgicare ... took an IV bag home with her when she was ill to rehydrate. She inserted the IV into her vein and almost immediately had a serious cardiac event and died."

I had a bad experience with a anesthesiologist that was in training back in the 90s-I was having a tubal & I am waking up in the middle of the operation-Felt like those Big 80s yo-yos I thought the gas mask was making me sick,I pulled out of my Restraint-pulled the mask Dr says
