THE APPEAL
May
19, 2006
Mr.
Ron Allen - Executive Director
Texas
State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners
333 Guadalupe, Ste. 3-810
Austin,
Texas 78701-3942
Mr.
Allen,
We
are formally requesting to appeal the decision of the TSBVME in regards
to the dismissal of Complaint # 06-111 – Ann K. Thomas, DVM.
According to Board Rule 575.27(c)(7), the investigator shall interview
the complainant. According to Board Rule 801.205(4), the Board must
ensure that the person who filed the complaint has the opportunity to
explain the allegations made in the complaint. We have yet to be
interviewed. We have yet to be given the opportunity to explain the
allegations made in the complaint. This complaint is FAR from
groundless. In fact,
the
violations of both the Practice Act and
Rules of Professional Conduct are so numerous, to just dismiss
this complaint suggests one, or a combination, of the following:
Relevant
material submitted with our complaint was withheld, or not provided, to
the reviewing board members.
~
and / or ~
Dr.
Thomas’ response to the complaint was a despicably fictional
account of events designed to cover up her absolute negligence and
total guilt. Dr. Thomas has already proven that she is untrustworthy
and extremely unethical. Proof positive of this is on page 1 of the
medical records we submitted. She has altered the records and that is
an indisputable fact.
Can’t see it? LET US HELP YOU.
See attached. INDISPUTABLE FACT. No
ifs, ands, or buts. FACT. Period.
We also request to see the ORIGINAL
records to determine if there have been other alterations to the
records not evident in
our faxed copy. We
have demanded ALL of Stempy’s records
from Dr. Thomas, INCLUDING all radiograghs. We have
NEVER
received, nor have we seen, any radiographs ever taken by Dr. Thomas.
Now, we demand that the board compel Dr. Thomas to immediately provide
us copies of ALL radiographs in Stempy’s
records, plus
other relevant records that Dr. Thomas is withholding. By not providing
us the radiographs, Dr. Thomas is in DIRECT VIOLATION
of board rule 573.52(c). How can this just be ignored? Must
we file a complaint for EVERY violation?!?
~
and / or ~
A gross dereliction of duty on
the part of the reviewing
board
members, constituting a conspiracy designed to cover up for, and
protect, a GUILTY veterinarian.
Let
us remind the board that in your “Compact with
Texas”
posted on the TSBVME website, it states, “The Board's first
priority is to protect the public.” It is NOT
to protect a GUILTY veterinarian. A guilty vet, who
then lies to cover up her negligence, poses a GRAVE
and IMMINENT danger to the public the board is
charged with protecting.
We
strongly
feel this complaint MUST be
heard in person in informal proceedings and we demand
to be heard and allowed to rebut any falsehoods offered as fact by Dr.
Thomas. The public’s safety could very well hang in the
balance.
The same public the board is charged with protecting. Please visit
Stempy’s website at www.stempy.bravehost.com
. We look forward
to your immediate response.
Sincerely,
Greg
and Cindy Munson.
For
Stempy.

In Memory of
Muffy Munson
the
best doggie in the whole world!

Muffy, our beloved female Lhasa Apso, passed away due to old age and
cancer 10 days after Stempy on October 10, 2005 at the
grand old age of 17 ¾ years
old.
She is dearly loved and dearly
missed!
WE LOVE YOU, MUFFY!






Stempy was an AKC champion-sired
male Shih Tzu. He was only 8 years old. He was truly a once
in a lifetime dog. In our opinion, he had about half of his
life taken away from him due to the negligent and substandard
care he received at the hands of his vet. Unfortunately,
Stempy's veterinarian was:
ANN
K. THOMAS, DVM
Rodeo Dr. Veterinary Hospital

Mesquite, Texas
In
our opinion,
we think the DVM means:
(D)oesn't
know
(V)eterinary
(M)edicine
Be sure to click the page links at
the top of the page to learn all about the alleged substandard
& negligent care that Stempy endured for 2 years because we
were all-trusting of this vet. If only we had researched two years
prior.....
You MUST do your research
NOW BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!
No matter how great you "think"
your vet may be, do not leave it
to chance!
There is no 2nd chance for
Stempy!
We miss you, little boy!
We will NOT let
you die in vain!
NEVER BLINDLY
TRUST YOUR VET!
Let
us repeat that....
NEVER
BLINDLY
TRUST YOUR VET!
