Greenville physician on probation again

The Medical Board of
California Department of
Consumer Affairs recently
took disciplinary action
against Greenville physician
Daniel A. Williams Jr.
It revoked his physician's
and surgeon's certificates,
then stayed its action and
placed him on three years
probation.
It also placed limits on
his practice, including bar-
ring him from practicing
medicine in his home.
In the stipulated settle-
ment, Williams admitted
he violated several codes, as
alleg.ed by the California
Attorney General's Office in
their first, third, fourth
and seventh causes for disci-
pline.
His partial admissions
were part of the settlement
reached by both parties
to avoid a full-fledged trial,
according to his Quincy
attorney Robert McIlroy.
"He agreed to some but not
others," McIlroy said of those
causes. "He would have gone
to trial."
The first cause was for a
September 2008 misdemeanor
conviction for the illegal
possession of a controlled
substance.
The third cause included
several violations, including
business and professions
codes, health and safety
codes and a United States
code.
Violations include the
following:
--Prescribing dangerous
drugs without a good-faith
prior examination of his
patients.
--Using incorrect addresses
on California prescriptions
for controlled substances.
--Failing to fulfill the
labeling requirements for
dangerous drugs kept at his
Greenville residence.
--Failing to keep those
drugs in a secure area.
--Illegally possessing
"There are no laws against a
physician's office being in his or
her residence or against a
physician making house calls."
Jennifer Simoes
Chief of Legislation, Medical Board of California
controlled substances fraudu-
lently issued in the name of a
patient.
--Prescribing himself
a controlled substance,
Vicodin, in the name of that
patient.
--Issuing false or fictitious '
prescriptions by using an
expired license issued by the
Drug Enforcement Adminis-
tration and a false address of
practice.
--Obtaining Vicodin by
fraud, deceit, misrepresen-
tation and subterfuge, by
falsely representing it in his
patient's name.
--Using a false address in
connection with prescribing
controlled substances.
--Two other similar or
related codes.
The fourth cause for disci:
pline is his failure to main-
tain adequate records for
five of his medical marijuana
recommendation patients.
For one patient listed,
Williams did not document
complete vitals, history,
exam, treatment plans, re-
ports, follow-ups or lab work.
Another patient's chart
had no entries for almost two
years, though high blood
pressure was noted and
never addressed or treated.
The seventh cause was
for negligence in his care
of 11 patients, including some
of his marijuana patients,
four chronic opoid patients
and three who are listed
as being over-prescribed
Vicodin.
Included in this cause was
Williams' failure to include
in the charts of six marijuana
patients their complete
histories and physical exami-
nations, scheduled follow-up
appointments, outside records
detailing diagnostic workups,
other medications prescribed,
and notification of the
patients' primary care physi-
cians.
According to McIlroy,
Williams didn't keep up with
all of the paperwork, but it
was "benign, a housekeeping
issue."
"They ran a trap line on
him," McIlroy said. "He's
been under the gun for
almost three years on this
between the DA, attorney
general and Board of Medical
Examiners."
Home biz and house calls
"There are no laws against
a physician's office being in
his or her residence or
against a physician making
house calls," said Jennifer
Simoes, chief of legislation
for the Medical Board of
California.
This condition is a stan-
dard one, in order to make a
clear separation between his
home and practice areas in
case the medical board needs
to issue a search warrant.
"To comply with this term
and condition, the physi-
cian's office can still be at the
same physical location
or even part of the same
building, as long as it has
a separate address and sepa-
rate entrance," she added.
"However, local codes and
requirements would apply."
According to county offi-
cial Randy Wilson, there is
no special permit issued for a
home-based business at the
doctor's Cedar Drive address.

Shooting leaves one dead;
bail set at $1 million

One man is dead and
another is in Enloe Medical
Center in Chico following
a shooting Saturday night,
July 2, on the Janesville
grade near Antelope Lake.
Rory C. McGuire, 20, of
Susanville, died at 6:05 p.m.
Monday at Renown Medical
Center in Reno.
The Plumas County Sher-
iffs Office said McGuire was
shot in the head by Gregory
Wallin-Reed, 36, of Reno,
on Saturday following an
incident that is still under
investigation.
Wallin-Reed was charged
with murder.
According to the sheriff's
office, McGuire and five
other Susanville men came
under fire from Wallin-Reed
after they allegedly tried to
steal solar lights from Wallin-
Reed's driveway,
Wallin-Reed said he saw six
men flee his residence in a
blue sedan.
Wallin-Reed chased the
men in his own truck and
said one of them fired a
shot at him from the fleeing
blue sedan.
Wallin-Reed told the sheriff
he returned the fire coming
from the vehicle.
After Wallin-Reed fired an
unknown number of shots
with a .22-caliber rifle, the
sedan crashed several miles
from Wallin-Reed's resi-
dence.
According to Plumas
County Sheriff's Detective
Steve Peay, the men in the
car tried to evade Wallin-
Reed's gunfire by driving
into a meadow.
Once in the meadow, the
driver made a U-turn and
returned toward the road in
the direction of Wallin-Reed.
Peay said Wallin-Reed,
who had stopped his truck,
continued shooting at the car
as it returned in his direction
toward the road.
"He fired multiple rounds
at the car," Peay said. "We
aren't sure how many."
That is when the crash oc-
curred and Wallin-Reed left
the scene.
Peay said his Office
received a call from Wallin-
Reed, who phoned from his
home to report the shooting
more than an hour after it
took place.
In the meantime, two of the
men who had been in the car
walked a couple miles from
the scene of the shooting
and crash to the Lone Point
campground at the northwest
corner of Antelope Lake.
After arriving at the
campground, the men placed
a call for help.
Peay said the sheriff's
office responded to the call.
According to Peay, no
weapons were recovered
from the crashed vehicle.
Two guns, the .223 assault
rifle and a handgun, were
found at the residence of
Wallin-Reed after deputies
arrived at the cabin.
Peay said Wallin-Reed
may have been under the in-
fluence of alcohol.
