At its meeting on Friday, December 1, 2000, the Nevada State Board of Medical Examiners

In the formal Complaint filed against Dr. Rosenman by the Investigative Committee of the

defined in NAC 630.245 as "the failure of a physician, in treating a patient, to use
the reasonable care, skill, or knowledge ordinarily used under similar
circumstances," a violation of NRS 630.301(4), which provides that "malpractice
constitutes grounds for initiating disciplinary proceedings."
The Stipulation for Settlement in the matter stipulates that the board
issues the following Decision and Order:
1) Dr. Rosenman, shall, within thirty (30) days of
the Order of the board, send a written communication to the offices of the board,
addressed to the Chairman of the Investigative Committee, attaching any and all protocols

communicated to Dr. Rosenman's offices from laboratories, documentation of those reviews,
and follow-up with patients.
2) Dr. Rosenman shall attend a course which lasts for a period of time
to allow him to accumulate eighteen (18) hours of continuing medical education in the area
of Endocrinology and Pediatric Diabetes. Dr. Rosenman shall locate the time and
place for said continuing medical education, and prior to attendance shall communicate his
selection to the Chairman of the Investigative Committee of the board, and shall receive
the Chairman's approval prior to attendance. These eighteen (18) hours of continuing
medical education shall be in addition to the forty (40) hours required of all licensees
for biennial registration.
3) Dr. Rosenman shall be placed on probation not to exceed a
period of one (1) year. Conditions of probation shall be that he complete the above
ordered eighteen (18) hours continuing medical education, submit the above ordered
protocol, and pay the fees as ordered below. Upon completion of the eighteen (18)
hours of continuing medical education, submission of the protocol and payment of the fees,
Dr. Rosenman shall be released from probation.
4) Dr. Rosenman shall pay the sum of ONE THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED SEVENTY
ONE ($1,171.00) DOLLARS, as and for all administrative expenses incurred in the
investigation and hearing process, to be paid in full, within thirty (30) days of any

Summary
Suspension of License to Practice Medicine
in the State of Nevada of
H. N. Sundar-Raj, M.D.
The Nevada State Board of Medical Examiners held an Emergency Telephone Conference Call
Meeting on December 5, 2000, to consider the Complaint and Request for Summary Suspension
of License filed by the board's Investigative Committee against H. N. Sundar-Raj, M.D.
The Complaint charges Dr. Sundar-Raj with practicing medicine while mentally
impaired -- one count of violation of NRS 630.306(1), and one count of violation of NRS
630.306(2)(b) and NAC 630.230(1)(c). The board voted unanimously to summarily
suspend Dr. Sundar-Raj's license to practice medicine in the state of Nevada as the
continuing practice of medicine or the continuing ability to practice medicine by Dr.
Sundar-Raj during the pendency of the time necessary for a hearing on the Complaint
against him would endanger the health, safety, and welfare of his patients.
