Description

We accepted Bernal v. Department of Professional Regulation, 517 So.2d 113 (Fla. 3d DCA 1987), for review because the district
court certified conflict with Britt v. Department of Professional Regulation, 492 So.2d 697 (Fla. 1st DCA 1986). We have jurisdiction
pursuant to article V, section 3(b)(4), Florida Constitution, and approve Bernal and disapprove Britt. A hearing officer recommended a ninety-day suspension followed by a one-year probation after finding that Dr. Bernal had
assisted the practice of medicine by unlicensed persons.1{/Cite} The Department of Professional Regulation filed exceptions
to the penalty and recommended a one-year suspension. The Florida Board of Medicine, however, revoked Dr. Bernal's medical
license outright. Its recited reasons for rejecting the recommended penalty were that Dr. Bernal was less than candid in his
testimony before the hearing officer and that patients were endangered by unlicensed persons practicing medicine.
