Morrissette calls for resignation of medical licensure board director After a series of public hearings regarding the activities of the Board of Medical Licensure and Supervision in the handling of a Tulsa surgeon’s case, Rep. Richard Morrissette is now calling for the resignation of the board’s executive director Lyle Kelsey. Testimony and documents presented during a three hour hearing at the State Capitol last week “exposed the depth of the egregious behavior this state agency unleashed against Dr. Steven Anagnost,” said Morrissette, D-Oklahoma City. “The actions of the board and its executive director, Lyle Kelsey, constituted nothing less than unprecedented state-sponsored terrorism.” “The purpose of my hearing last Thursday was to start a discussion in the legislative branch about revamping state boards and agencies that have power over individuals who hold licenses, such as physicians, nurses, veterinarians, etc.,” Morrissette explained.
