In this medical disciplinary proceeding, the SCDLLR, South Carolina State Board of Medical Examiners found Dr. Hibah O. Osman's conduct fell below the applicable standard of care and warranted a public reprimand. The administrative law court upheld the sanction of a public reprimand, but deleted one provision in the order regarding her future practice. Dr. Osman and SCDLLR have filed cross appeals. In its appeal, SCDLLR contends (1) the administrative law court erred in striking part of the Medical Board's sanction on a ground that was not raised by Dr. Osman, and (2) even if the decision of the administrative law court was procedurally correct, it was substantively in error to strike part of the sanction because the sanction was well within the Medical Board's authority. In contrast, Dr. Osman argues the administrative law court erred in imposing a public reprimand and fine on her as her actions did not violate rules of ethical conduct and there is no substantial evidence in the record to support the imposition of a public reprimand.
