Its not over because the Medical Board has yet to investigate all of the complaints against this doctor. Unbelivable that he has been attending medical education classes while he his under suspension . He has 40% of his schooling in pain management ? What a joke. Can you imagine such a person treating people in a pain management clinic, he could not keep proper records before what gives him the right now? Please medical board do the right thing and answer evey letter from every family who has lost a loved one.

Strong evidence was brought before the board in 2005 they failed to suspend his license then .Resulting in the deaths of over 4 people that I know about . One of these deaths was my 21 year old niece. She started seeing him 18 months before she died. If the medical board would have taken away his license then she would be alive .I can't speak for others but how did the Medical Board help the people of Nevada? Only suspending his ability to write prescriptions for narcotics. This man SOLD his practice the day after his suspension of writing narcotic scripts. How could he possibly leave all his patients behind he could still treat people but decided not to help the sick.Instead he still holds a medical license why not go the whole nine yards? I called the Medical Board 2 days ago and left a message concerning the meeting this weekend, but they failed to return my call. I guess they are to busy giving favors to doctors who destroy families like mine .My niece is just as important as this mans license so we need to work together in his punishment .

I can't believe it takes 2 years for the medical board to investigate ? Prompt action should be taken sooner . As the case with Buckwalter , over 10 people have died since his file has been sitting on there desk.Only summarily suspended it, technically this doctor can still be out seeing patients can you imagine going to a doctor who lost over 10 patients in a couple years. Thats a terrible record for a primary care physcian.The medical board better not show any favoritism with this doctor, because this case involved my niece who passed (she was only 21 years old).I will do anything it takes to see justice prevail.

People who smoke smell nasty , can't you stop smoking for a night on the town. Let the workers breathe your polluting yourself with toxic chemicals along with the patrons let alone the workers who are trying to make a living swallow your smoke & see what it feels like . Cough ... Cough...
