THORP, THEODORE M., M.D.
 
10/22/1990
The Nevada State Board of Medical Examiners filed a formal complaint against Dr. Thorp alleging that his conduct in prescribing controlled substances constitutes continual failure to exercise the skill or dilligence or use the methods ordinarily exercised under the same circumstances by physicians in good standing practicing in the same specialty or field. 
 
11/27/1990
The Board entered into a Stipulation for Settlement with Dr. Thorp and it was ordered that he receive a public reprimand and will enroll in and complete at his own expense the Appropriate Prescribing Workshop to be conducted in the month of April 1991.

The Investigative Committee of the Nevada State Board of Medical Examiners filed a formal complaint against Theodore Thorp, M.D. for alleged substandard medical care rendered to a forty-year-old female, as per Count I (violation of NRS 630.301(4)). Dr. Thorp allegedly violated Section 630.301 of the Nevada Revised Statutes by failing to use reasonable care, skill, or knowledge ordinarily used under similar circumstances.
 
11/30/2007
The Nevada State Board of Medical Examiners approved and accepted a Settlement Agreement whereby Dr. Thorp, by not contesting, hereby agreed, that an order may be entered herein by the Board finding that he engaged in conduct that is grounds for discipline pursuant to the Medical Practice Act, to wit: that in treating the patient referenced in the original complaint filed by the IC, Dr. Thorp's associated medical record keeping of the underlying patient was incomplete and lacking in proper informed consent, and therefore a violation of NRS 630.3062, that he shall be publicly reprimanded and that within one year of the acceptance, adoption and approval of the Settlement Agreement, he shall complete twelve (12) hours of Continuing Medical Education (CME) regarding the subject of medical record keeping or a substantially similar subject, which are to be approved by the IC Chairman in advance of their accomplishment. The aforementioned CME's are to be in addition to any CME requirements that are regularly imposed upon Dr. Thorp as a condition of licensure in the State of Nevada. Further, Dr. Thorp shall reimburse the Board the reasonable costs and expenses incurred in the investigation and prosecution of the case within ninety (90) days of the acceptance, adoption and approval of the Settlement Agreement by the Board. A final accounting of the additional costs will be provided to Dr. Thorp in the entry of the Board's Order relating to the matter.
