re: Germantown (Memphis Area) Psychiatrist accused of whipping patients

Suspended because she didn't go to therapy and didn't pay the fine, not because her behavior changed

The State of Tennessee Department Health has now issued an order stating Augustus failed to pay the $50,000. The order also states Augustus failed to engage in the monthly supervision with a therapist.

As a result of these violations, Augustus license was suspended effective August 9.

The order states Augustus’s license will remain suspended until she enters an at least three-year-long monitoring contract with the Tennessee Medical Foundation to monitor her monthly psychotherapy supervision progress.

She must also pay $10,000 of the $50,000 cost assessment owed and enter a payment plan to pay the remaining $40,000, along with additional costs and civil penalties.
