More complaints filed against Bluffs anesthesiologist

News

January 12th, 2012 by Ric Hanson

Additional complaints have been filed against a Council Bluffs anesthesiologist accused last month of sexual misconduct and professional incompetency. Three women have stepped forward to accuse 48-year old Dr. Michael Prescher of wrongdoing. The women alleged Prescher treated them when his office was closed and no other staff were present. They also alleged: that he gave them an I-V sedation before he administered pain management injections; they were unconscious for lengthy periods of time; and, that Prescher did not charge them for the procedures, even though the women had insurance. One of the women also alleges Prescher released her to drive home alone, while she was under the influence of sedation.

The new charges led the Iowa Board of Medicine to amend the charges against Prescher, who lives in Omaha. The Board issued an emergency order in December, suspending Prescher’s license, for allegedly engaging in sexual misconduct and professional incompetency, for performing injection procedures for pain treatment on two female patients who were under sedation. Prescher denied any wrongdoing in association with the first two allegations. Council Bluffs Police conducted an investigation into the initial allegations made last month, and concluded that the investigations should end without any formal criminal filings. Pottawattamie County Attorney Matt Wilber said the evidence gathered by police was insufficient to secure a conviction against Prescher.

Under terms of the emergency order, Prescher is prohibited from practicing medicine until the matter is resolved. He’s scheduled to appear before the Board during a hearing today in Des Moines. The hearing is not open to the public.

January 12th, 2012 by Jim Field

LAWRENCE, Kan. – Kansas’ Angel Goodrich was only 5-of-16 from the field but she hit a long three-point bucket with five seconds left to send the Jayhawks’ game against Iowa State to a second overtime in which KU went on to a 74-67 victory in Allen Fieldhouse Wednesday. Kansas’ Carolyn Davis scored nearly all of her 21 points playing with four fouls through the last 20 minutes of the game as Iowa State suffered another heartbreaking loss at Kansas. The Jayhawks are 13-2 overall and 2-1 in the Big 12 Conference. Iowa State falls to 9-5 overall and 0-3 in the Big 12.

Iowa State, which led by 13 with 9:30 left in regulation, scored just once in a late five-minute stretch of the second half.  The Cyclones, led by Chelsea Poppens’ 24 points and 15 rebounds, were outscored 11-4 in the second overtime.  Anna Prins had 19 points and seven rebounds for Iowa State.

Iowa State started the second half in full gear. Six different Cyclones scored on a 16-11 run out of the gate and the Cyclones led 44-31 with 9:30 left in the game.

The Cyclones took a 20-18 first-half lead on a quick three by Kelsey Harris off the bench with 2:45 left in the first half. A Poppens free throw gave the Cyclones a 24-18 lead at the break.  Iowa State outscored KU 12-2 over the last seven minutes of the first half with Goodrich’s jumper with 4:41 remaining the final Jayhawk points before halftime.

Iowa State attacked the basket throughout the game but were saddled with 23 turnovers that kept Kansas in the contest.

Iowa State plays host to defending NCAA champion Texas A&M Saturday at 7 p.m. CST in Hilton Coliseum.
