MARCH 28, 2008
A Settlement, Waiver and Consent Agreement was approved and accepted by the Nevada State Board of Medical Examiners, whereby Dr. Luh, although not conceding to or admitting to the allegations as set forth in Count I of the Complaint , did not wish to contest the same and therefore agreed that the Board has sufficient evidence to proceed with its complaint that Dr. Luh engaged in conduct that is grounds for discipline pursuant to the Medical Practice Act to wit; one count of malpractice, when he performed a surgical repair of an aneurysm that was not medically indicated, which evidence Dr. Luh disputes and denies, and but for his desire to reach a compromise of this matter, he would contest at formal hearing. The Board ordered that Dr. Luh pay a fine of $500; that Dr. Luh, shall at his own expense, attend, within one year of the acceptance, adoption and approval of the Settlement Agreement, six (6) hours of continuing medical education, to be pre-approved by the Chairman of the Investigative Committee and to be in addition to any other continuing medical education required as a condition of licensure; and Dr. Luh will reimburse the Board 50% of the reasonable costs and expenses incurred in the investigation and prosecution of the matter, with all fines and costs to be paid to the Board within one-hundred-twenty (120) days of the acceptance, adoption and approval of the Settlement Agreement.
