When a Dentist is at Risk of Losing Their License

Dentistry—the oldest medical profession—carries with it an unfortunately mixed reputation. Dentists must put up with peoples' fear of drills (unfortunately reinforced by such films as "Little Shop of Horrors") and the wrongheaded ignorance of the profession by health insurance companies—who as a result end up paying for heart surgeries when they could have just covered the extraction and/or replacement of infected teeth. So how much the worse when a Texas dentist must contend with a...

Can Nurses Obtain the Identity of a Filer of a Complaint With the Texas Board of Nursing?

No nurse wants to learn they have been the subject of a complaint before the Texas Board of Nursing. Anyone can file these complaints, and they can result in serious professional repercussions, including revocation of the license to practice as a nurse in the state.
