A Texas doctor is in jail after he poisoned IV bags, causing the death of a colleague and cardiac emergencies in 11 other patients at a Dallas surgical center following a medical misconduct investigation, federal court papers allege.<\/p>\n

Anesthesiologist Raynaldo Rivera Ortiz Jr., 59, was arrested on Sept. 15 after a string of healthy patients suffered from unexplained life-threatening complications during routine surgeries between May and August.<\/p>\n

Shocking footage from Aug. 4 shows Ortiz emerging from a room at 12:35 p.m. at Baylor Scott & White Surgicare holding an IV bag as he walks down an empty hall toward an IV warmer.<\/p>\n

He passes the warmer, then turns around then puts an IV bag inside.<\/p>\n

A nurse retrieved the bag at 12:11 p.m., which was administered to a 56-year-old woman undergoing cosmetic surgery, according to a federal criminal complaint.<\/p>\n

She suffered serious cardiac complications and was rushed to a nearby hospital.<\/p>\n

Another clip from Aug. 19 shows Ortiz at around 10:24 a.m. with a saline bag tucked under a paper folder. He switches the IV bag with one in the warmer.<\/p>\n

The contaminated solution was given to a 54-year-old woman undergoing abdominal surgery who also suffered a cardiac emergency during surgery, the criminal complaint says.<\/p>\n

The video clips were played at a court hearing last week, where federal prosecutors described Ortiz as a “medical terrorist” who used heart-stopping drugs to turn IV bags into “poison bombs that exploded on unsuspecting patients.\u201d<\/p>\n
