Shares2 Last month, I wrote about the case of Dr. Kim McMorries, a somehow-still-practicing Texas physician who repeatedly used his own sperm with his fertility patients without their consent. Decades later, the truth came out, thanks to consumer DNA testing kits. The DNA kits, which have become popular Christmas presents, delivered the unpleasant surprise news to many of McMorries’ patients and their now-adult children. McMorries is now embroiled in a legal battle with the Texas Medical Board, and, like a gruesome car crash, it’s hard to look away. Last time I discussed this case, I mentioned that McMorries had decided that there was no better defense than a good offense, and went ahead and himself sued the Texas Medical Board, arguing that the Board was prevented by a state statute of limitations from bringing an action against him. The statute in question provides that the Texas Medical Board may not “consider or act on a complaint involving care provided more than seven years ago.” However, the Board asserts that, per its guidelines, complaints based on the standard of care used by a doctor are, indeed, prohibited seven years after such care was given; however, many other violations — presumably more closely related to fraudulently impregnating patients with your own sperm — are not subject to the statute of limitations. McMorries’ response brief used many Venn diagrams to explain the varying interpretations of this statute.
