Letter to the editor:

Accountability needed in endoscopy crisis

Regarding the Endoscopy Center of Southern Nevada:

I am, as so many other people are, absolutely appalled at the disgraceful actions of the physicians at this center. Another aspect of this that I would like to broach is the subject of the licensed nurses and technicians in this most shameful and disastrously dangerous situation. They also should be held accountable. They knowingly participated even though they were “just following orders.”

In my estimation this does not hold water. After all, they also knew the risks to each and every patient they injected from used syringes and used vials.

And last, God forbid, should a patient treated at any of the clinics die from the incompetence of these physicians, nurses and technicians, they should be charged with capital murder.
