Baltimore doctor denies ties to homeopathic board
Dr. Simon Virkutis a staffer at Eastern Shore State Hospital said he was elected to the Maryland Homeopathic Medical Examiners Board and later disclaimed any connection with the group. In Baltimore Circuit Court the eight member board was described as a rump body after attorney general moves to block licensing. Reddick, former president, faced court action. Virkutis said he was unaware of the controversy until May when Reddick was sued. The state seeks to bar Reddick and seven others from acting as a governing board for exams and licenses amid questions about out of state and uncredited school credentials.
