I'm going to spare you the dim bulb kitty this time.
Step back and think for a moment. What pool of money is going to pay 40,000 attorney fees? Do you believe the Endoscopy Center is printing money in the back room? Do you think that malpractice insurance will have a reserve to cover 40,000 liability cases? Do you think the doctor's assets will cover the costs for 40,000 attorneys? If 40,000 attorneys charged a meager $1000 for their services, it would total $40,000,000. What magic pot would produce this money? What publicity can be gained when 40,000 attorneys are mobbing a courthouse for pro bono services? Please use common sense.
You're at risk, I'm at risk if we continue to allow the millions of illegals to take these jobs.
There has already been investigative reports on the housekeeping industry where workers (many, if not most, who don't speak English) have even less than a rudimentary understanding of their job, and coupled with ignorance of basic hygiene spread germs & disease as they wash your dishes, clean your toilets using the same filthy rags.
Don't kid yourself, this same mindset is prevalent in the medical industry too!
This is only the beginning!
Even though they say from March 2004 to present.
I would still go to my doctor and get tested for Hep and HIV. At least this way you can feel some what at ease if everything comes back negative.
My sister in-law was on the list and just notified. This is hideous...it’s an outrage!
Absolutely. I hope that they do prosecute. And all the best to you.
This is sick. These people need to be charged with criminal negligence.
They have other clinics in town and I guess the same procedures were used there also.
I cannot understand why in four years someone working there did not report these happenings to the health department. The health department stated, they only check these places once every 3 years, oh, and I would think they would be on good behavior when they are being inspected.
The health dept also stated that they check the prisons twice a year.
That is it, become a convict and stay healthy.
For more on the doc....
Clinic owner found success Doctor, native of India built medical empire. http://www.lvrj.com/news/16105787.html
I think he probably has a lot of money stored in Indaia.
“These third world doctors are brought into our country under a special visa program”
Meanwhile in the states ... those of us that want to get involved in the medical field at any level have to wait, wait and wait to get into the few schools left. Some Americans wait up to 4 years to get in. Even at a community college level, training for simple medical tasks, the accessibility to citizens is deplorable.
System broken.
City inspectors entered the Endoscopy Center of Southern Nevada at 700 Shadow Lane about 3 p.m. to serve an emergency suspension order. After waiting until six patients had completed treatment, all employees left the building and the doors were locked.
The clinic's business license is suspended until further notice, Mayor Oscar Goodman said at a late afternoon news conference.
"The city now has the business license in hand," Goodman said. "They don't have a license to do business in the city of Las Vegas."
Labus said investigators had access only to personnel and logs that were on hand at the facility since it was remodeled and expanded in March 2004.
"We also were able to observe what was going on, what their practices have been since 2004," he said. "They (staff) told us that what we saw was common practice since then."
Before 2004, many different people worked at the clinic, Labus said. "I don't know whether the center operated in the same way in the past as it did recently or not."
Even if clinic staffers reported the procedures were the same prior to March 2004, Labus said, officials would not have been able to sufficiently document that.
"We needed more hard evidence," he said.
Thanks for the update sweetie.
Trying not to be cynical, but this story gets worse by the day.
