The Maryland state medical board has charged Frederick psychiatrist Orrin Palmer of Evergreen Psychiatry with having sex with a patient and using drugs improperly. The alleged incident occurred in 1990 with a 20 year old Tourette's patient whom he treated.

Palmer and the patient reportedly met at a Tourette's Association meeting and lived briefly together in Frederick. He acknowledged the relationship but said he did not initiate it.
