Texas Doctor Arrested for Tampering with IV Bags

Federal agents arrested a Texas anesthesiologist accused of tampering with IV bags that led to a colleague’s death and sparked a series of terrifying operating room emergencies, officials said Thursday.

Dr. Raynaldo Rivera Ortiz Jr. was arrested Wednesday in Plano and charged with tampering with a consumer product and intentionally adulterating drugs, offenses that could lead to life behind bars, federal prosecutors said.

Ortiz had been suspended in the wake of a criminal investigation related to the June 21 death of Dr. Melanie Kasper, 55, according to the order of temporary suspension the Texas Medical Board issued Friday.

She died after she used an IV bag she had from the clinic where she and Ortiz worked. Kasper took the bag “home with her when she was ill, to rehydrate,” the suspension order said.

An autopsy revealed she was the victim of "a lethal dose of bupivacaine," federal authorities said.

On or about Aug. 24, an 18-year-old male patient "experienced a cardiac emergency during a scheduled surgery" as he had to be "intubated and transferred to a local ICU," federal authorities said in a statement.
