2. A physician whose continued practice will or may cause irreparable damage to the public health and safety.

B. In a petition for injunction under subsection A, paragraph 1 it is sufficient to charge that the respondent on a certain day in a named county engaged in the practice of osteopathic medicine without a license and without being exempt from the licensing requirement under this chapter. For the purpose of this subsection damage or injury as a result of such practice is presumed.
