Tim's comments can be found as part of TexasMedicine reporter Ken Ortolon's cover story "Greetings from the TMB: What Happens If You Get Bad News."  The article addresses the dreaded notification of letters of the Texas Medical Board that are sent out to practicing physicians to inform them of an inquiry or investigation, and some of the related concerns and considerations.  In the article, Tim is quoted on reactions to TMB notification letters and the latest TMB effort to streamline the disciplinary process in cases of relatively minor violations.  For more on Mr. Weitz's thoughts about the Texas Medical Board and physician regulation, check out his testimony at the October 23, 2007 hearing of the Regulatory Subcommittee of the Texas House Appropriations Committee.  Go to the following link  http://www.house.state.tx.us/committees/broadcasts.php?session=80&committeeCode=033 to access the hearing video and fast forward about 6 hours and 44 minutes into the public testimony.
