I would contact the police and make a police report. It is my opinion that this Doctor, is deeply troubled, and needs to be stopped. I doubt that this is the first time he has done this. And I doubt that it will be the last time.

Second, you need to contact your insurance company.

Third, I would consider suing him. I have not researched the possible reasons you may sue but I am certain there are specific statutes or laws that would apply in addition to those standard possible reasons of fraud, etc.

Please contact my office of you are interested in hiring me as your attorney at 361-888-6968.

Also, I have not researched the specific issues; and my response is based upon my general knowledge.

If you do not retain me, please obtain a second opinion regrading the course of action I have suggested.
