Fitting end to MA fiasco: Wednesday, Oct. 7, 2009; Like other medical assistants throughout the state Betty Guerra was to return to work this week.

Board paralyzed by Botox: Thursday, Sept. 17, 2009; >Where’s the emergency in the Board of Medical Examiners’ emergency regulation to crack down on unlicensed medical assistants?
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.
