Why was Dr. LaRavia fired?

Folks are talking on the Hard Copy board about Dr. Dennis LaRavia's firing from the Bogalusa LSU Rural Residency Program. Wednesday's Daily News had an editorial about the "outrage."

We suspect it had something to do with this formal complaint (about one-third of the way down the page):


Dennis A. LaRavia, M.D...... L4514........... 6/4/07...... Unprofessional conduct; violation of state or federal law; violation of board rule regarding Physician in Training permits.
Please note that these are allegations, not yet proven.

The matter is set for hearing by the Texas State Office of Administrative Hearings, Texas Medical Board in April 2008 - PDF file of the docket here. See page 37.
