The Board finds that the costs associated with Count Two are the same as those associated with Count One as both Counts were based upon the unlicensed practice of medicine and both Counts require the same investigation. Therefore, the Board finds that the dismissal of Count Two does not change the costs associated with Count One. It is Ordered that: The fine of $500.00, previously imposed by the Board's order filed 12-11-98, is hereby confirmed as the appropriate penalty on Count One and shall be paid within 30 days of this Order if it has not already been paid.

The costs incurred by the Board in these disciplinary preceedings in the amount of $5876.77 are confirmed as the appropriate costs associated with Count One and Respondent shall pay said costs within sixty (60) days of the date of this order, if not already paid.
