The Investigative Committee of
the Board of Medical Examiners of the state of Nevada filed a formal
complaint against Dr. Fox for violations of the provisions of NRS Chapter
630 for treatment rendered to a twenty-nine-year-old female patient when he
failed to properly interpret the fetal heart-tracing tests on the fetus of
the patient, and as a result, failed to timely initiate a c-section
procedure, thereby violating Section 630.301(4) of the Nevada Revised
Statutes which provides that malpractice, defined as the failure to use the
reasonable knowledge, skill and expertise ordinarily used in similar
circumstances, is grounds for discipline. |

A Settlement Agreement was approved
and accepted by the Nevada State Board of Medical Examiners. The Board entered
its Order finding that Dr. Fox violated the Medical Practice Act, to wit: one
count of malpractice, a violation of NRS 630.301(4), that in treating the
patient, his care and treatment of the patient at issue was inconsistent with
the appropriate standard of care that should have been applied based upon the
circumstances. The Board ordered that Dr. Fox be publicly reprimanded; that he
shall, within one year of the acceptance of the Settlement Agreement, complete
20 hours of Continuing Medical Education (CME) regarding the subject of prenatal
care, to be approved by the IC Chairman in advance of their accomplishment and
in addition to any CME requirements regularly imposed as a condition of
licensure; that he shall reimburse the Board the reasonable costs and expenses
incurred in the matter and that he be fined in the amount of $5,000.00. These
fines and costs are to be paid to the Board within sixty (60) days of the
acceptance, adoption and approval of the Settlement Agreement. |
