Ind. Law - Chiropractor's punishment improper, judge says
Yesterday the ILB had this entry (which was updated again this morning) about actions of the state medical and dental boards.
Today the Indiana State Board of Chiropractic Examiners is in the news, in an AP story published today in the Louisville Courier Journal with the headline "Chiropractor's punishment improper, judge says." Some quotes:
JASPER, Ind. -- A judge has ruled that a Huntingburg chiropractor was improperly reprimanded by the state last year for treating horses.Pamela Ann Buss filed suit last January after the State Board of Chiropractic Examiners issued a verbal censure and ordered her to not treat animals.
Dubois Circuit Judge William Weikert ruled earlier this month that Buss was not acting outside the scope of her education, training and experience. * * * "It is this court's opinion, contrary to the board's findings, that Indiana laws do not address the issue whether chiropractors are allowed to treat animals," Weikert ruled.
He ruled that the board's reprimand and censure should be retracted and expunged from Buss' license and record.
Buss, a licensed chiropractor who also is certified by the American Veterinary Chiropractic Association, started practicing in Dubois County more than five years ago. She began treating animals in 2001.
