Sunderhaus
Practiced
in Asheville NC for 34 years as an ophthalmologist and primary care doctor
without ever coming to the Boards attention.
2/6/11
while shopping at SamÕs Club in Asheville with his disabled wife suffering from
AlzheimerÕs disease, he bumped into a family from Pakistan. They and
their children were blocking the aisle that he attempting to guide his wife
down. Dr. S pushed by the wife/mother of the children and made a remark
that they should go back where they came from.
They
found out that he was a physician and complained about this to the NCMB,
despite the fact that it had absolutely nothing to do with his practice of
medicine.
When
the investigator from the NCMB attempted to contact him he refused to speak to
the investigator about it, stating that it had nothing to do with his practice
of medicine and was thus none of the BoardÕs business.
The
medical board subsequently forced him to travel to Raleigh, when he refused to
accept the legal counsel that the Board recommended to him, he had to spend a
day at their offices listening to trumped up charges
and lectures from the BoardÕs attorneys. The Board subsequently forced
him out of practice.
