Case

In a decision dated March 13, 2023, the NANB Discipline Committee accepted the Alternate Complaint Resolution Proposal (“ACRP”) submitted by Allen Paul Famatid, Registration Number 031373.  As a result of the admissions made in the ACRP, the Discipline Committee found that Mr. Famatid showed a lack of critical thinking and professional judgment by heating a dry towel in a staff microwave that was not temperature regulated and applying the towel to the patient’s abdomen, causing smoke, a burnt towel, and injuries to the patient.  Mr. Famatid admits that in addition to being unsafe and a risk to patient safety, the use of a staff microwave to heat an object that was then applied to a patient’s skin was unsanitary.

The Discipline Committee ordered that the suspension of Mr. Famatid’s registration imposed by the Complaints Committee on August 16, 2022, be continued until specific conditions are met.  When those conditions are met, Mr. Famatid will be eligible to apply for a conditional registration.
