IN THE DISTRICT COURT, SHELBY COUNTY, NO.08-CV-29961 KEITH MILLER V. STEVEN HOTZE & SHIRLEY PIGOTT

EXHIBIT A DR. MILLER’S RETALIATION AGAINST DR. SHIRLEY PIGOTT November 2, 2009 Dr. Miller’s Current Retaliation Efforts 1. Lawsuit against Dr. Pigott and Dr. Steven Hotze claiming that their whistle blower claims against Dr. Miller constitute slander. 2. Lawsuit against Dr. Pigott seeking a permanent injunction to stop Dr. Pigott’s whistle blower acts against Dr. Miller and his nurse. ( Due to Dr. Pigott’s whistle blower activity, the State of Texas has forced both Miller and his nurse to cease improper conduct) 3. Coordinating with Wharton County District Attorney Josh McCown in an effort to send Dr. Pigott to prison. (After being stopped at night, on a dark highway, for driving 74mph in a 65mph speed zone, Dr. Pigott refused to open her car door before going to a public location.) Dr Shirley Pigott (Texas Medical Board Watch) Dr. Pigott formed Texas Medical Board Watch and has been working with a group of whistle blowers to expose improper, unethical conduct by the Texas Medical Board and its board members. Whistle Blower Group Other participants of the project include Dr. Steven Hotze (a co-defendant in Dr. Miller’s retaliation lawsuit), the Association of American Physicians & Surgeons (organization that has sued TMB) and approximately 50 additional doctors and medical personnel who are aware of the unjust conduct of the TMB and its board members. Claims Against Texas Medical Board The whistle blower group has accused the Texas Medical Board and its board members of allowing: 1) Anonymous complaints from insurance companies, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, attorneys and competitors 2) Anonymous “expert” witnesses against physicians 3) Kangaroo courts held in secret 4) Denial of patients’ right to testify on behalf of their doctor 5) Prohibition of note taking and recordings in hearings 6) Denial of due process to physicians 7) Discipline for menial and trivial records’ findings 8) Intimidation tactics 9) Forced settlements 10) Conflicts of interest. Whistle Blower Group’s Successes to Date The current state of the whistle blowers’ efforts and successes is:

1. Passage of new legislation in 2007 outlawing unethical conflicts of interest by board members of the Texas Medical Board. (This new law forced Dr. Miller to resign from the TMB) 2. Pending lawsuit in federal court in Austin, wherein the Association of American Physicians & Surgeons is suing the Texas Medical Board. (Dr. Miller’s conduct while a board member will be reviewed in this lawsuit) 3. Resignation of Dr. Don Patrick, the Executive Director of the Texas Medical Board. 4. Current investigation of the conduct of the Texas Medical Board and its board members by the Texas Legislature. Intensity of Dr. Miller’s Anger Toward Dr. Pigott The intensity of Dr. Miller’s anger and retaliation toward Dr. Pigott is due to Dr. Pigott’s success as a whistle blower in wrecking Dr. Miller’s “gold mine” and Dr. Pigott’s acts as a whistle blower concerning criminal conduct by Dr. Miller’s nurse and family member. Dr. Miller’s “Gold Mine” Prior to Dr. Miller’s forced resignation from the TMB, a primary source of his income was from expert witness fees for testifying against doctors and hospitals in medical malpractice cases. Lawyers suing doctors or hospitals sought out Dr. Miller’s testimony, which was always that the doctor or the hospital was negligent. Dr. Miller’s opinion was extra valuable since Dr. Miller was on the Texas Medical Board and Director of the Disciplinary Committee. He was “The Man;” he set the standards required of doctors and hospitals. Dr. Miller was able to pack his schedule with expert witness jobs; able to charge large fees; able to make lots of money. Dr. Miller created a “gold mine” by unethically using his position with the Texas Medical Board. Before 2007, Dr. Miller was criticized for having a conflict of interest by acting as a witness against doctors and hospitals, while being on the TMB. Although the conflict of interest was clear and obvious, Dr. Miller refused to correct his improper conduct. Only after the Texas Legislature and the Governor of Texas declared, in 2007, that Dr. Miller’s conduct was illegal did Dr. Miller resign from the TMB on August 30, 2007. Dr. Pigott provided the Texas legislature with information that led to the new law that outlawed Dr. Miller’s “Gold Mine.” (Attached: Texas Medical Board Watch, Keith Miller MD, Conflict of Interest; Red Devil Award) Dr. Miller’s Nurse (Bridget Hughes) Bridget Hughes worked for Dr. Craig McMullen in 2004 and 2005. During this time, Nurse Hughes, for her own use, forged Dr. McMullen’s name to more than 50 prescriptions for narcotics. This was a crime in violation of the Controlled Substance Act. When Dr. McMullen discovered her crimes, he fired Nurse Hughes.

Nurse Hughes then began working for Dr. Miller, who is believed to be Nurse Hughes’ uncle. While working for Dr. Miller, Nurse Hughes continued obtaining narcotics for her own use. In December, 2006, Nurse Hughes admitted her crimes and surrendered her DEA license. Acting as a whistle blower, Dr. Pigott pursued information she had been given concerning Nurse Hughes’ continuing to obtain narcotics, while working in Dr. Miller’s office. This created intense anger in Dr. Miller.
