There is a physician that I work with who has had sexual misconduct
charges filed against him.  He vehemently denies the sexual charges,
but claims that he did have a social relationship (not romantic) with
the patient only after he documented that he terminated the
physician/patient relationship.

What I am interested in knowing is:

1.  What types of information would the complainee need to provide in
order to have the complaint investigated (aka would verbal statement
be enough)?

2.  What does the Texas State Medical Board consider 'solid evidence'
of sexual misconduct (ie.  e-mails, text message records, deposition,
patient statement) that would cause them to take disciplinary action
against a physician?

3.  What types of precautions are in place to prevent a physician from
being falsely accused?

Thank you for any help
