1.

The Oregon Medical Board (Board) is the state agency responsible for licensing,

regulating and disciplining certain health care providers, including physicians, in the state of

Oregon. Sangkun Park, MD (Licensee) holds an active license to practice medicine in the state

of Oregon.

On July 29,2016, the Board issued a Complaint and Notice of Proposed Disciplinary

Action in which the Board proposed taking disciplinary action by imposing up to the maximum

range of potential sanctions identified in ORS 677.205(2), to include the revocation of license, a

$10,000 fine, and assessment of costs, pursuant to ORS 677.205 against Licensee for violations

of the Medical Practice Act, to wit: ORS 677.190(l)(a) unprofessional or dishonorable conduct,

as defined in ORS 677.188(4)(a).

Licensee’s acts and conduct that violated the Medical Practice Act follow: Patient A and

his wife (deceased in March of 2015) were socially acquainted with Licensee and his wife.

Patient A suffered from depression after the death of his wife (of 50 years) and was admitted on

September 25,2015, to the Emergency Department of the local hospital after he attempted

suicide. He was discharged five days later. Licensee saw Patient A for the first time as a patient

on October 9,2015. Licensee conducted a physical examination and noted a BMI of 17.6

(underweight). Licensee also ordered laboratory studies and an X-ray, On October 23,2015,

designated appraiser will make total appraisal, and [Licensee] will pay $500 monthly payment

until final closing will be confirmed. [Patient A] will live in the property until further

accommodation is available. In the meantime [Licensee’s agent] will assist [Patient A] in

making the above mentioned property suitable for living.” On November 2,2015, Patient A

presented to Licensee accompanied by his daughter, who expressed concerns about Patient A’s

forgetfulness and possible early dementia, lack of energy, mood swings and anxiety attacks.

Licensee recommended placement in assisted living or a foster home and prescribed Venlafaxine

(Effexor) 37.5 mg (an anti-depressant). Licensee states that he never wrote a payment check to

Patient A and asserts that he had no genuine interest in purchasing the property—-that he only

signed the agreement to give Patient A peace of mind. Licensee failed to recognize that he had a

conflict of interest, and violated his position of trust by entering into a financial transaction with

an elderly, emotionally distraught patient suffering from depression and possibly early stage

dementia. Licensee’s conduct violated ORS 677.190(l)(a) as defined by ORS 677.188(4)(a) as

conduct that is contrary to recognized standards of medical ethics, to include “Commitment to

maintaining appropriate relations with patients (“Medical Professionalism in the New

Millennium: A Physician Charter,” published by the American Board of Internal Medicine) and

Ethical Opinion 8.03 (Conflict of Interest: Guidelines) and 10.015 (The Patient-Physician

Relationship), published by the American Medical Association.

The Oregon Medical Board (Board) is the state agency responsible for licensing,

regulating and disciplining certain health care providers, including physicians, in the state of

Oregon. Allen Lytton Stark, MD (Licensee) holds an active license to practice medicine in the

state of Oregon.

2 .

On August 15,2017, the Board issued a Complaint and Notice of Proposed Disciplinary

Action (Complaint) in which the Board proposed taking disciplinary action by imposing up to

the maximum range o f potential sanctions identified in ORS 677.205(2), to include the

revocation of license, a $ 10,000 civil penalty per violation, and assessment of costs, pursuant to

ORS 677.205 against Licensee for violations of the Medical Practice Act, to wit: ORS

677.190(l)(a) unprofessional or dishonorable conduct, as defined in ORS 677.188(4)(a), (b) and

(c); and ORS 677.190(13) gross or repeated acts o f negligence.

3.

The Board opened an investigation and as a result of the investigation the Board alleged

that certain acts by Licensee violated the Medical Practice Act. The Board conducted a review

of six patient charts, which revealed a pattern of substandard charting and prescribing of

benzodiazepines and stimulants, to include patients who were prescribed high dosages of opioids

by another provider. Licensee maintained his patients on long term high dosages of

benzodiazepines and stimulants without medical justification and without providing his patients

an adequate informed consent form that covered the many potential adverse effects and risks

associated with these medications. Licensee also failed to recognize or assess his patients when

there was evidence o f serious complications, such as increased anxiety, panic disorder, short

term insomnia, falls, confusion, motor vehicle accidents and somnolence. In many of the cases,

Licensee determined that tapering was in order, but did not document a tapering plan and failed

to follow through to implement his stated intent. The Board reviewed the investigation and

issued a Complaint alleging Licensee’s conduct in these cases violated ORS 677,190(l)(a), as

defined in ORS 677.188(4)(a), (b) and (c); and ORS 677.190(13), Licensee requested a hearing

violated ORS 677.190(l)(a), as defined in ORS 677.188(4)(a), (b) and (c); and ORS

677.190(13). Licensee understands that this Order is a public record and is a disciplinary action
