Interesting Things:

1. It says that he got his license in 1999, another contradiction because remember, the previous profile said he had Actively Practiced in the USA/Canada for 18 years as of 2010…1999 is only 11 years ago!

2. Just a random little thing I found that was kind of “funny”: There is a Medical Doctor in Nevada whose name is…MICHAEL JOSEPH MURRAY! Just a little funny thing 😀

Interesting Things:

1. In the “License Restrictions” section, it says that a formal complaint was filed by the Texas Medical Board against Dr. Armstrong. This is curious because this is the day after Dr. Murray returned to work in Houston. Could this possibly be connected?

2. In the “Status History” section, it says that, as of 5/29/2009, his license is under board order. Here’s a link that talks about a nurse being under board order, maybe we can learn some things from it: http://www.healthlicensedefense.com/b/2010/02/trying-to-find-a-job-while-under-a-board-order/

3. I find it curious that it lists Dr. Armstrong’s race/ethnicity, but it doesn’t list Dr. Murray’s on his profile.

Interesting Things:

1. It lists his years of Active Practice in USA or Canada as 18 years, yet it says he recieved his license in 2005. Speaking of 2005, this was the same time that the molestation case was wrapping, maybe Michael started planning it in 2005? I say this because the trial ruined Michael’s life.

2. Under Criminal History, it says he has no offenses, yet we ALL know that he was arrested for domestic violence. Why does the report not list this?
