Of course this is only four of the, I believe 14, counts.
It would be truly ironic, and appropriate, if he gets death by lethal injection.
This guy had a history of being a sicko—and shouldn’t have been in his professional position at all, IMO.
CONVICTED OF ANIMAL CRUELTY
In a bizarre case, Ortiz was arrested in Murphy in 2015 and accused of shooting his neighbor’s dog with a pellet gun after the neighbor helped Ortiz’s girlfriend move out and later testified against him in a court hearing.
Ortiz was charged with animal cruelty.
The dog survived.
He pleaded not guilty but was convicted by a jury and sentenced to 25 days in jail.
The judge also ordered him to take anger management classes and pay $505 for restitution for the injured dog’s veterinarian bill.
Ortiz appealed his misdemeanor conviction, claiming that there was insufficient evidence, that he didn’t have the opportunity to object to proposed jury instructions, that the judge erred in responding to a jury message, and that the prosecutor who omitted several words in a jury charge during the arraignment.
The doctor lost on every argument.
The appeals court reviewed trial transcripts and in its decision affirming Ortiz’s conviction offered the following detailed account of the case.
The neighbor testified that at about 2:30 p.m. on April 29, 2015, she heard a gunshot while she was in her bedroom and heard her dog scream.
She ran into her backyard and saw “her dog’s chest covered in blood,” she told the jury.
Right before she heard the shot, she said she heard Ortiz drive into his driveway.
She knew it was him, she testified, because he had a “very loud sports car” and “it’s a very loud distinctive roar when he comes home.”
She immediately thought Ortiz had shot the animal. He shot rabbits “a lot” and they would run into her yard injured, she said.
Collin County jail records show Ortiz was arrested on Dec. 30, 2014, on a charge of family violence - assault by contact and released a day later. Court records show no charges were filed.
When police questioned him about shooting the dog, Ortiz denied committing the crime and said he didn’t have any weapons because his girlfriend took them all when they split.
Ortiz stopped cooperating with police about a week later after he showed up for a scheduled meeting with a detective at the police station. But when the detective arrived in the lobby to greet him three or four minutes later, he was gone, according to the appeal court ruling.
PREVIOUS CRIMINAL RECORD
Ortiz’s criminal record dates to 1995, just two years after he finished his residency at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston.
The Texas Medical Board was fully aware of Ortiz’s record and documented it in a 2018 case against him.
In June 1995 Ortiz was arrested for assault that caused bodily injury to a spouse, who later divorced him.
In September 2005, another woman filed for an emergency protective order alleging that he assaulted her.
In December 2014, Ortiz was arrested for assault domestic violence involving a third woman.
In January 2015, the third woman filed for an emergency protective order and settled with Ortiz for an “undisclosed amount of money,” according to the medical board’s review of his criminal cases.
In an affidavit, the mother of Ortiz’s son said Ortiz had been “abusive” for years.
“He has threatened to kill me before, even told me how he would do it, including cutting my finger off to get the ring,” the woman said. “He said the only thing stopping him from killing me was he would go to jail.”
Ortiz denied the allegations and denied he and the woman were ever married.
Ortiz claimed the woman “ransacked” his house before she left and took cash, gold, jewelry and 40 bottles of wine.
A judge granted a temporary protective order to keep the doctor away from her and their son but both parents were later given visitation rights.
Beyond bizarre but someone somewhere along the line during this man’s 8 years of medical schooling realized this man was insane.
Racism is treating a person differently because of attributes they are born with. Considering ethnicity and cultural differences when evaluating the world is not racism, it’s an essential custodial duty.
Goes to show that the medical profession won’t weed out the bad apples until they actually start actively killing people...but will quickly get rid of those who vocally advocate for patients’ health...else, a lot of medical professionals would have spoken out against Covid jabs/procedures.
“Not to blame the victim, but that seems like something you shouldn’t do. Probably forbidden.”
The IV bag would still have been used on the next person in the hospital.
My daughter is a nanny for a doctor. She’s gotten her medications before. I’m sure that it’s a common and legal practice. I work for a manufacturer of building materials. If I need something I get it for free.
I watched the movie, “The Good Nurse” on Netflix. I remember when it was reality.
This case is no different.
Any time a organization grows big enough that it has a bureaucracy it is heading down the road of corruption.
Because the bureaucracy will look out for it's self, first, last and always.
