Dr. Raynaldo Ortiz allegedly injected patients' IV bags with nerve blocking agents and other drugs, leading to at least one death and multiple heart attacks, could face life in prison if convicted.
A Dallas doctor whose license was suspended last week has been arrested as part of a criminal investigation into alleged tampering with IV bags. The Texas Medical Board's suspension order says the investigation surrounds the death of at least one person who received one of those IV bags from the Baylor Scott & White Surgicare in North Dallas.
Two months later, on August 24, an 18-year-old patient experienced a cardiac emergency during a routine sinus surgery. They identified 10 additional instances of cardiac emergencies during otherwise normal surgeries between May and August 2022. The incidents began just two days after Ortiz was informed of potential discipline in which he allegedly "deviated from the standard of care" during a procedure in which a patient required CPR.
