Section 54-1837 - PROCEEDINGS.
(b) At said hearing the physician shall have the right to be present, to be represented by counsel, to produce witnesses or evidence in his behalf, to cross-examine witnesses, and to have subpoenas issued by the board.
(c) At the conclusion of the hearing, the board shall make a determination of the merits and, if grounds therefor are found to exist, may issue an order imposing one or more of the following:
if grounds are not found to exist, the board shall enter its order so stating, shall dismiss the proceedings and shall provide the respondent a true copy thereof.
(d) The board may temporarily suspend or restrict the license of any physician or enter an appropriate order of temporary probation, ex parte, on its own motion or on petition of the examining committee, pending further or final order without prior hearing, simultaneously with or at any time after the institution of proceedings for a hearing under this section, but only if it first finds, on the basis of a responsible showing which satisfactorily demonstrates that the physician, in his capacity as such and for reasons set forth by petition, affidavit, or other verified showing, is causing great harm to the public, or to any patient or group of patients, or is likely to cause such harm and therefore should be immediately suspended, restricted or specially controlled in or from the practice of medicine.
(e) Neither the record of the proceeding nor any order entered against a physician may be used against him in any other legal proceeding except upon judicial review as provided herein, it being the intent and purpose of this act that all evidence, testimony, showings and proceedings are subject to disclosure according to chapter 3, title 9, Idaho Code, but not to be used in criminal or civil proceedings concerning the subject physician.
