I WAS GOOGLING AND FOUND THIS IN A REPORT. ITS FROM 1998. I WONDER IF THIS SICK MOTHER F***ER STILL WORKS THERE CAUSE IF HE DOES THERE BETTER BE SOME CHANGES. THATS ENDANGERING THE INMATES. THEY DO NOT DESERVE TO HAVE SOME CRAZY PERVERT ASSAULTING THEM. WHY ISN'T HE LOCKED UP??? DOES HE STILL WORK THERE???



"Robert A. Komer, DO, whose medical licenses were revoked in six of seven states after he pleaded no contest to 59 counts of sexually abusing patients and other offenses from about 1982 through 1988. In June 1990, Michigan's Board of Osteopathic Medicine and Surgery found him guilty of sexually abusing six psychiatric patients, four of whom he first drugged with amytal sodium. One of the patients was so upset following treatment that she slashed her wrists in a suicide attempt. Another became dependent on the physician's attention and attempted suicide several times "in order to be hospitalized and have more contact with Komer," the board found.
After Michigan revoked Komer's license, Arkansas, California, Florida, Iowa, Missouri, and Ohio did the same. Texas, however, did not. In January 1991, the Texas Board of Medical Examiners placed Komer on probation for 3 years, during which he had to undergo psychiatric treatment and to notify the board in the event he left employment with the Texas Department of Mental Health and Mental Retardation, where he was assigned to the Department of Corrections.
Komer, who now works part time at the Ferguson Unit of the Texas Department of Corrections in Midway, declined to comment."

I'll be checking the AMA website to see if he is still in Texas. This is very disturbing. It ounds to me like he needs to be a "GUEST" of TDC instead of working for them. I'll let you know what I find. My son is at Ferguson Unit! Katy

After much searching and a big headache I found he was disciplined in TX in 1991 but I can't open the file so we know nothing new or different. I'll try again when I have more time and my headache is GONE!

My honey is in the Ferguson Unit too, and I found out that information while I was googling. That was part of a report. I thought everyone should see that information because it is just so messed up that someone who has done all those things has not been banned from working there. And his license was taken away. Inmates deserve medical treatment from licensed professionals, not repeat sex offenders.
Yah why isnt HE behind bars? It makes no sense but if you think about it, it makes alot of sense. Cover ups. Working for the state. How else can someone be accused of all those things and have licenses revoked in all of those states and then STILL get a job here?

oh yah it says in 1991 he was given 3 years probation. wow probation. and for only 3 years. for being a physician who took advantage of psychiatric patients and others. And not only did he do that he drugged them. A person in a position of power who they should be able to trust, drugging them and violating them. Thats very messed up. He should be in prison for those things.

By and large, TDCJ does not hire any of the strictly medical employees. Doctors, nurses, etc, for the Allred Unit are all hired through Texas Tech. Different units across the state contract those jobs out to different places, but TDCJ, itself, doesn't hire them. You need to find out what company hires the medical staff for Ferguson and contact them for your complaints.

That is true. Most all of the units in West Texas have medical staff through Texas Tech.

Emm, maybe he is a changed man. After all, isn't what this site is all about---Another chance and rehabilitation.

whether he is a "changed" man or not, if a child molestor keeps molesting do you want him working in a daycare with your child?
