The Florida Board of Medicine cited several Central Florida doctors this weekend, handing out fines and community service.

The Orlando Sentinel reports that an Orlando family physician, Dr. Aileen Norgell, was cited for misdiagnosing an inmate at the Brevard County Jail and providing inadequate treatment.  Norgell was fined $10,000 and ordered to perform 100 hours of community service.

Dr. Parul Patel, an anesthesiologist from Melbourne, was fined $10,000 and ordered to perform 25 hours of community service for his failure to properly diagnose and treat a gastric-bypass patient in 2002.

Kissimmee OBGYN, Dr. Robert Lemert, was fined $5,000 by the Board of Medicine and required to perform 25 hours of community service for not following accepted medical practices involving a high-risk pregnancy in 2005. 

Dr. Sarfraz Mirza, of Melbourne, surrendered his medical license and promised never to reapply for one in Florida.  He was convicted of trafficking in Oxycodone.

Also, Dr. Jerry Rubin accepted a settlement that requires him to pay $7,000 and lecture other doctors on "wrong-site surgeries" after operating on the wrong part of a person's finger in 2005.  Rubin is an Orlando plastic surgeon.
