An administrative hearing involving the Department of Public Health focused on whether a respondent, identified in the transcript as Ms. George, could produce documentary proof of a Florida trip cited in the department’s investigation. During cross-examination, an unidentified questioner pressed Ms. George on the evidence she had submitted as department exhibit 7.

Ms. George said the only documentation she could produce was a screenshot of a car rental saved on an old phone. "That's my car rental," she stated, and added that "that's the only evidence that I have after asking me 10 years later for these things." The screenshot, as shown in the hearing record, displayed a four‑day economy rental rate and a prompt to "continue to check out," and did not show a completed checkout or payment confirmation. The questioner characterized the image as a pre‑checkout screenshot and asked whether it demonstrated an actual paid transaction; Ms. George maintained it was the file she had available to upload from her phone.

The exchange also addressed Ms. George's access to supporting records. She told the panel that she had closed the email account linked to the booking after it was compromised by fraud and that she no longer used the New York bank account associated with those transactions. According to Ms. George, she contacted the bank by phone when investigators asked and was told the institution "doesn't keep any records past 5 years," which she offered as an explanation for not being able to obtain older cancelled checks or detailed payment history.

On the record, the questioner asked whether Ms. George had told the department investigator the same things; Ms. George said she did not recall some specifics of what she had previously told the investigator. The questioner also asked about use of online instruction platforms, and Ms. George confirmed she used Blackboard and said she did not receive online instruction from professors at Medlife Naples through that platform.

No formal ruling or vote occurred during the morning session. The hearing recessed for a short lunch break and the record was paused; the parties agreed to reconvene later in the day.
