oversight of a patient’s progress and diabetic condition who was
participating in an insulin clinical trial. Although the patient was
counseled to communicate any medical problems experienced,
Dr. Kelehan should have also counseled the patient to communicate low blood sugar levels, regardless of whether the patient
experienced related symptoms. Dr. Kelehan admitted that at the
time of the patient’s death, he was not enrolled in the Texas
Electronic Death Registry system as required, and therefore did
not utilize the system to file and/or certify the patient’s death
certificate.
Leal, Ramiro, M.D., Lic. No. L2979, McAllen
On December 4, 2015, the Board and Ramiro Leal, M.D., entered

medical recordkeeping, eight hours in risk management and
eight hours in Obstetrics/Gynecology (with four hours focusing
on the emergent, high acuity cases). The Board found Dr. Leal
failed to timely treat the patient’s intra-abdominal bleeding. The
patient’s demise was the result of a total system failure at the
hospital that mitigated and reduced Dr. Leal’s responsibility for
the failures to an extent.
Linan, Luis Enrique, M.D., Lic. No. H8214, El Paso
On December 4, 2015, the Board and Luis Enrique Linan, M.D.,
entered into an Agreed Order requiring Dr. Linan to within one
year complete at least 16 hours of CME, divided as follows: four
hours in patient communications, four hours in risk management and eight hours in medical recordkeeping. The Board
found that there was a lack of documentation in the medical
record related to Dr. Linan’s counseling of a patient as to the
severity of her condition and need for quick evaluation and
treatment.

On December 4, 2015, the Board and Rafael Parra, M.D., entered into an Agreed Order requiring Dr. Parra to within one
year complete at least 16 hours of CME, divided as follows: eight
hours in patient-physician communication and eight hours in
medical recordkeeping. The Board found Dr. Parra failed to exercise due diligence and failed to safeguard against potential complications following an operative procedure due to lack of documentation of his instructions to a patient which likely contributed to the patient being discharged from the hospital without
consulting with Dr. Parra.
Springer, Terry Wayne, M.D., Lic. No. G8434, Haltom City
On December 4, 2015, the Board and Terry Wayne Springer,
M.D., entered into an Agreed Order that requires Dr. Springer to
within one year complete at least eight hours of CME, divided as
follows: four hours in risk management and four hours in treatment of abdominal emergencies. The Board found Dr. Springer
treated a patient for a possible kidney infection without further
examination of the abdomen. Dr. Springer should have immediately ordered a CT scan to rule out other abdominal conditions
given the patient’s symptoms.
