The Investigative Committee of
the Nevada State Board of Medical Examiners filed a formal complaint against
Dr. Andrews, charging him with two violations of NRS 630.301(4), for failure
to use the reasonable care, skill, or knowledge ordinarily used under
similar circumstances in treating a patient. Count I alleged that Dr.
Andrews performed a lumbar puncture on Patient A without investigating
alternatives to the lumbar puncture or taking any precautions to account for
the fact that Patient A was on Lovenox. Count II alleged that Dr. Andrews
failed to consider complications associated with sinusitis and perform
further workup on Patient B knowing the patient had been seen three previous
times with the same complaints, had received treatment and had not improved. |

expenses incurred in the investigation and prosecution of the case against him,
