Doctor faces discipline for shielding patient records in 10-year case

Posted on February 24, 2011 by Dissent

I can’t believe this case is still going on.

Alicia Gallegos reports:

A physician who refused to release records without patient consent during a medical board investigation finally might receive his formal punishment from the board — 10 years after it was proposed.

In a 4-3 vote, the Court of Appeals of Maryland reversed a lower court decision, reinstating a reprimand and a $5,000 fine by the board against Bethesda, Md., psychiatrist Harold I. Eist, MD. The decision stems from years of litigation, including five challenges in which lower court judges dismissed charges against Dr. Eist and ruled that the board did not have unfettered access to patient records.
