Texas anesthesiologist caught on video allegedly tampering with IV bags outside operating room

Dallas doctor dubbed 'medical terrorist' after caught tampering with IV bags
Dr. Raynaldo Rivera Ortiz Jr. could face the death penalty if convicted of putting heart-stopping drugs in patient IV bags
A Texas doctor allegedly injected poison into IV bags, causing the death of a fellow physician and cardiac emergencies in 11 other patients, at a Dallas facility in retaliation for a medical misconduct probe, federal court papers allege.

Anesthesiologist Raynaldo Rivera Ortiz Jr., 59, was arrested Sept. 15 — one week after the Texas Medical Board yanked his license after a string of healthy patients suffered mysterious and life-threatening complications during routine surgeries from May to August. None of the patients were under his care.

"Respondent’s continued practice of medicine poses a continuing threat to public welfare," the board wrote in its suspension order.

Disturbing surveillance footage
Alarming footage from Aug. 4 shows Ortiz emerging from a room at 12:35 p.m. at Baylor Scott & White Surgicare in North Dallas holding an IV bag as he walks down an empty hall toward a fridge used for warming saline solution.
