Girgis, 332 S.C. 162, 167-69, 503 S.E.2d 490, 492-93 (Ct. App. 1998) (finding adequate notice was provided where the complaint set forth a statement of the issues involved); S.C. Code Ann. § 1-23-320(B)(4) (Supp. 2005) (requiring a more definite and detailed statement of the charges upon application by the respondent); S.C. Code Ann. § 1-23-610(B) (Supp. 2008) (the court may not substitute its judgment for that of the administrative law judge on questions of fact, but may reverse the decision if it is clearly erroneous in view of the reliable, probative, and substantial evidence); Osman v.

Dep't of Labor, Licensing, and Regulation, 382 S.C. 244, 250, 676 S.E.2d 672, 676 (2009) (affirming the Board of Medical Examiner's decision to impose public reprimand where substantial evidence supported the Board's findings that physician violated the rules of ethical conduct and that public reprimand was warranted as a sanction); Rule 103(a), SCRE, (error may not be predicated upon a ruling which admits or excludes evidence unless a substantial right of the party is affected); Conner v. City of Forest Acres, 363 S.C. 460, 476, 611 S.E.2d 905, 913 (2005) (holding error in the exclusion of evidence was harmless where consideration of the wrongly excluded evidence would not have impacted the result of the trial).
