The Investigative Committee of

brings the medical profession into disrepute, a violation of NRS

The Nevada State Board of Medical
Examiners entered a Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law and Order whereby
Ronald Foote, M.D. was found guilty of violating NRS 630.301(9), i.e., engaging
in conduct that brings the profession in disrepute, as alleged in Count II of
the complaint filed herein. The Board further concluded that Ronald Foote, M.D.
did not violate the provision of NRS 630.301(6) set forth in Count I of the
complaint in light of the fact that the Physician Respondent was also the
patient at the time of the incident. The Board ordered that Dr. Foote receive a
public reprimand, that he pay $9,758.54 for administrative costs, due within
