An amended accusation from the Medical Board of California alleges John P.S. Janda, MD, continued to see patients despite having a suspended license, according to The Fresno Bee.
Here's what you need to know:
1. The medical board claims Dr. Janda wrote prescriptions and performed examinations after the board suspended his license. The orthopedic surgeon met with the board in June 2017, when he acknowledged his license was suspended.
2. The board alleges Dr. Janda saw a patient in August 2017 to treat the patient's back and knee pain. In September 2017, a patient allegedly visited Dr. Janda to go over blood test results.
3. Dr. Janda is accused of back-dating prescriptions so they appeared to be written before his license was suspended.
4. The June 2017 interim suspension review noted Dr. Janda had a history of syncopal events while performing surgery. Dr. Janda performed his last surgery in November 2014.
5. The Medical Board of California previously revoked Dr. Janda's license in 2015 for gross negligence and repeated negligent acts in his care. However, Dr. Janda's revocation was stayed, and he was put on a three-year probation.
6. Now, the board is seeking to remove Dr. Janda's probation. The board claims the orthopedic surgeon did not complete a clinical training program in a timely fashion and failed to complete a neuropsychological fitness evaluation.
7. If Dr. Janda's probation is revoked, his license will also be revoked.
