Doctor Urges Discipline for Execution InvolvementSidney Wolfe, M.D., Director of Public Citizen Health Research Group, recently wrote to John Romine, M.D., President of the New Mexico State Board of Medical Examiners urging the immediate suspension of Dr. Fred Pintz's license to practice medicine because of Pintz's involvement in the upcoming execution of Terry Clark. According to the letter, Pintz, the Chief Medical Officer of the State of New Mexico, violated ethical and legal principles governing the Board of Medical Examiners when he authorized the acquisition and provision of the drugs to be used by the New Mexico Department of Corrections in the execution of Clark. Clark is scheduled for execution on November 6th. Read Dr. Wofle's letter. (Shortly after Dr. Wolfe's letter was received, the execution drugs were returned to the State Dept. of Health. However, Terry Clark's execution went forward on Nov. 6.)
