- Med Board Pres: Enough is Enough!
- Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2009
- The president of Nevada’s Board of Medical Examiners, Dr. Charles Held, is fighting back against what he calls “political rhetoric, inflammatory journalism, and outright untruths…” (I’ve posted the news release to the right.)

- Like other medical assistants throughout the state Betty Guerra was to return to work this week. But unlike the others caught up in the fiasco resulting from the sudden effort by the Board of Medical Examiners to enforce a long-ignored statute that says who may administer drugs, Guerra faces 10 felony counts for injecting Botox and suturing.

- Tire Works owner on Radetich's 'lapse'
- Thursday, Sept. 17, 2009
- The owner of Tire Works Total Car Care said today during a phone interview on Face to Face that she only called Nina Radetich after Channel 13 General Manager Jim Prather refused to take her call regarding the handling of a News 13 investigation of the company by Darcy Spears. Maybe that’s why Prather is defending what he calls his anchor’s “lapse of judgment.” Others in the news business have other words to describe Radetich’s recommendation of her pitchman boyfriend’s services to spin against her own newsroom’s story on the embattled Tire Works. Freelancer Steve Freiss wonders on tonight’s program how the station could possibly retain its credibility and its star anchor.

- Blow up over Botox
- Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2009
- Judging by the voluminous options available to those seeking to inject Bovine botulinum into their wrinkles, Nevada could be the Botox capital of the country. Add to that laws and a regulatory scheme that are sorely lacking and you've got the makings of a nerve-paralyzing Nirvana, where medical assistants (a designation neither recognized nor regulated under Nevada law and only defined by the Nevada Administrative Code) openly break the law in any number of private settings, medical spas and doctors' offices - including the office of Dr. Benjamin Rodriguez, who was reappointed today by Governor Gibbons to another term on the State Board of Medical Examiners.
