State Medical Board of Ohio Meeting - October 8, 2014

John Izzo attended the State Medical Board of Ohio meeting on October 8, 2014.  He was present for the Board’s consideration of several Reports and Recommendations.  Of note, the Board approved the license of a massage therapist who’s license lapsed three years ago but continued to practice.  Mr. Giacalone, Board Member, stated that the applicant mitigated her situation by ceasing practice upon learning she was not licensed and notifying the board.  It was agreed that she would receive a reprimand, but would be allowed a license.  In a separate massage therapist case, the Board decided to permanently deny an individual who had three DUI’s prior to her application, and one afterwards that she did not inform the Board of.  A key point in the Board’s determination appeared to be the applicant’s statement that she did not believe Alcoholics Anonymous would work for her, and that she continued to work as a bartender pending the outcome of her application.
