HE: Dr. Oswald Berrios is a native of Puerto Rico and a graduate of theUniversity of Maryland in 1952. He was licensed in Maryland by examination and inPennsylvania, Louisiana and Puerto Rico.

Dr. Large: We would like to have a letter from someone who has known you inBaltimore.

Q.A.

Have you had azar difficulty with a medical examining board?I started practicing in Baltimore instead of going to Puerto Rico. At thattime I practiced in private practice. In 1961 some of the doctors perhapsfelt that I was infringing their area being from outside and charges werebrought asfar as an error made in interpreration of an x-ray. A lady gothurt, slammed the door and she was unable to extend the army. At thattime I had a group, seven to eight persons, surgeon, internist, obstetrician-gynecologist, dentist. I took the x-ray in the position it was. She could

$7gj

not extend it. In thi. s position it usually shows head of the radius —- -.At that time it did look like there was a fissure fracture, together withclinical evidence, swelling. I did interpret it as a fracture. About19 days after they had taken another x-ray in another office with ex-tended arm. At that time they felt there was no fracture. For that reasonthey felt I had tried to state there was a fracture when there was nofracture. Following that the orthopedist said fissure fractures not unusualto occur and that position being extended is the only way it can show. Asa result the Board of Medical Examiners felt even with that my licenseshould be revoked. This decision was stayed after proper hearing. Evenif I had made a mistake it was not so big a case for that severe punish-ment. 'Ihe ver dict was put aside. Thus I have never been without a licenseand have practiced since 1952. Since then I have had all my reciprocitiesfollowing this incident. Louisiana, Puerto Rico and Pennsylvania gave me

reciprocity and I was certified by the American College last year.

Dr. Large: There were other charges, do you remember what they were?A. The others in general were I did not take good care, proper care of some

of the patients. There again all the patients came in and saif if therewas anybody did care it was I. '%ere was a third case. I have alwaysfelt patients —- -; I was having office hours, somebody was there 24hours, either I or my assistant. I used to get a lot of traumatic cases.

Q.A.

You were charged with charging too much.This patient came in, no insurance, called me, who treated the same. Onthe way out said she did try to pay some money toward the bill eventhough I understated the amount. A week or two after she brings the paperin for some kind of insurance. Then I said I charged the same as if noinsurance. My secretary filled the paper and sent them out. Then she saidthere was a difference in what she would have paid and the insurance. Itwas interpreted because she had insurance I ordered to increase the billproportinately. It was not true. You have to treat patients just thesame as they have the money. If they have insurance they should pay theusual fee as anyone else.

Q.A.

A complaint was lodged by the Child Accident Plan for charges to children.It was a matter, I felt you shauld charge —- -; There are some things atthat time, laceration, many of them yuu have to depend on the degree ofseverity, time you spend with the patient. They feel regardless of thetime spent, it is a small time, charge low1y. It was based more on whatthe patient had.

Q.A.

The fees paid by the Union Welfare Fund, did you receive your full charge'?Yes sir

Q-

A.

With respect to fees for two children under Blue Shield Accident plan,did you receive full charge'?Yes sir

Then where'?One and a half years industrial medicine in Puerto Rico.I went to New Orleans. I got reciprocity there.

Q.A.

How long did you practice in New Orleans?I took training.

Dr. Berrios continued

Dr. Galusha: Anesthesia?A. I took 6 months first in Radiology, then I took 3 years Anesthesiology

training under Dr. Adriani. I taught at Tulane my third year, thenLouisiana State fourth year medical. school training at Tulane. Then Iwent to Pittsburgh at the University School of Medicine. There are 5hospitals there. I was stationed at the Eye and Ear Hospital, consultantat Presbyterian Hospital with Dr. Peter Safar. From there I went chief ofAnesthesiology to Franklin Hospital, two hours from Pittsburgh where Istarted Inhalation Therapy and Pulmonary Function Lab.I am planning to go to Forsyth Memorial -ospital in Inhalation Therapyand Pulmonary Function.

Dr. Combs: What position have they offered you?A. Assistant Chief of Anesthesiology and director of Pulmonary Function and

Inhalation Service.

Dr. Galusha: Do these men know you well".A. He has known me, Dr. Safar. I did not work so much with him.

Q.A.

You are leaving there because you have a better opportunity'?I am leaving because of the cold weather, snow almost every day, secondI want to do more Inhalation Therapy per se.

A.

Dr. Large: On your original application there is the question of statement inwhich you say " I have never been charged with violation of any Federal,State or Local Statute except as follows: None"I di$ not write that. 'this was made by the Board of Medical Examines.I/told by. them because there had been no charge proved in the past legally.I have never had a license revoked. This is what I was told.

Q.A.

Who told you that?This goes back —you have letter from the attorney general that statesbecause of the stay I have never been without a license.

Q.A.

What individual told you to write "hone'?I did not write it.

Q.A.

You filled out the blank?I filled out everything but that. This was taken there blank purposely-

Q.A.

You filled out the rest of this and left that blank?Yes

Q.

A.

How about the question - Has any medical board revoked or suspendedcertificate issued to you?At the top and also at the end left blank.

Q.A,

Was this done by two different typewriters?I do not know, they filled it out. Before they said something aboutbeing revoked, before that said except. ')his time they did not say that.

VERDICT: Dr. Cornelius T. Partrick moved that the Board withhold and notgrant license at this time, but pursue further inquiry: 1. By asking the MarylandBoard of Medical Examiners whether in fact they did fill out the answers and2. That he furnish letters from Drs. Safar and Adriani, to send letters of re-commendation. This motion was duly seconded by Dr. Bryant L. Galusha and passed.

Dr. Large: The Board wants to get this absolutely clear with respect to line 4.Did you fill in this word, type this word'?

A. My wife typed it.

A,Did she type this in?I can only tell you what I told here, this looks very familiar, don' tyou think.

Q.A.

She typed this?I did say it looks very familiar to me. I tell her very definitely number4 to be left out. I did sign the thing. This &oks familiar to me.

Dr Berrios continued

Dr. Large: 1he Board wishes to make inquiries about your previous training sowe will have to let action lay until the next meeting if we can getadditional information. This will constitute your appearance and if weneed you to come back, we will give you adequate notice.

Q.Q-

Q.Q.

Dr. Edmondson: When do you contemplate coming to Forsyth?A. I am planning to come immediately. I thought, I have never had any pro-

blem with other reciprocities. I had already made plans.

Q.A.

Have you moved?No sir, I came myself. I am staying with Dr. Monroe, obstetrician, buthave not moved my family.

Dr. Galusha: ke you working at Forsyth?A. No sir, they told me not to work until they heard from you. I have been

going around. The service has been behind because they could not geta respiratory director.

Dr. Combs: How long have you been in Winston-Salem?A. A week, I have not done any medicine, just working at the service.

Is it possible for this Board to allow me just Inhalation Therapy as muchas they need it there and the time it takes. Could I be allowed pendingthat you receive this information you want, not in Anesthesiology butInhalation Service? We are trying to bring it up to standard of theUniversity of —- - . CouM I be allowed until your next meeting?

Dr. La rge: Anything you do in the way of prescribing, treating or diagnosingpatients is within the framework of the Medical Practice Act and by de-the practice of medicine. If you worked in Inhalation Therapy, if youare not going to practice medicine, it would have to be limited toInhalation Therapy technician. You could not exercise any judgment.

Dr. Gelusha: 'Ihere is nothing to prevent you from being a technician in Anesthesiology,but this is under the direct direction of a physician.You are cognizant what a lay - - -can do. Their duties are broad. In mosthospitals the chiefs of Inhalation Therapy are not doctors.

A. That is right. Then I can do that?

Dr. Galusha: The Board does not have any authority over that.

Dr. Large: That is right, our authority is with doctors and - - -and practice,you have broken laws feloniously.

A. In Anesthesia, when we used to have nurse anesthetists, they would - --under the chief of service.

Q.A.

Are you a nurse".What I am trying to bring out is this - - - -. I did not expect this.I have three kinds, one in college, to be two months without doing anythingis very traumatic.

A.

Dr. Partrick: Would it help you if we were to write the chief of the respectiveservices in which you expect to work and explain the situation, that youdo not have a license and with that limitation they could employ yourtalents as a technician? Would that help?That would be very nice to make it official.

Q. Other than prWice of medicine, this Board has no power of regulation.That would help.

Dr. Large: In anesthesia I think you would find it hard not to overstep your bounds.
