An investigation into the disgraced physician began just over two years ago, after several patients at the Dallas surgery center suffered cardiac emergencies during routine medical procedures performed by different doctors between May and August 2022.
The “unexplained emergencies” began two days after Ortiz was notified of a disciplinary inquiry stemming from an incident during which he allegedly “deviated from the standard of care,” according to the criminal complaint.
During that time, an anesthesiologist who also worked at the facility died while treating herself for dehydration using an IV bag, according to prosecutors.
Ortiz, who had a history of disciplinary actions against him, also complained to other doctors that the center was trying to “crucify” him, prosecutors said.
Surveillance video presented in court showed Ortiz “repeatedly retrieving IV bags from the warming bin” before replacing them a short time later. It also showed Ortiz “mixing vials of medication and watching as victims were wheeled out by emergency responders.”
