Editorial: Sex offender should not hold medical license
04:57 PM CDT on Monday, September 14, 2009
Few yardsticks in life are better than the headline test. Try it on this one: "Sex offender keeps license
to practice psychiatry."
It gets worse, as in: "Doctor's offense involved a 10-year-old neighbor."
To say that something is out of whack in state law is an understatement. The case involves Dr.
William Olmsted, a child psychiatrist who pleaded no contest to a molestation charge in Dallas
County but was able to skate past the State Medical Board with his license intact, albeit with
restrictions.
