This is outrageous! What went on in this clinic is something that anyone in their first year of medical school would immediately know is WRONG. It just isn’t done. Not only were they reusing the syringes and the vials, they weren’t even cleaning the colonoscopy equipment properly. This isn’t a lapse in procedure; this was done to improve the bottom line at the expense of the health of these trusting patients and possibly something that could lead to their death. That is called criminal! I’m amazed that for now the line is being drawn at 2004 to 2007. Do you honestly think that these doctor(?) who are so driven by the almighty dollar weren’t cutting corners back in 2000/2001 whenever they first opened? What don’t we know? The facility is not a hospital, it is a clinic, and upon investigation it should have been shut down right then and not just corrects the problem. Was the County Health Department concerned about this so called doctor being so politically connected and I would think wealthy? I have to wonder how they could have gotten away with this for so long. The County Health Department inspects restaurants, does the County Health Department not inspect clinics and hospitals. If they do, they really dropped the ball and I’d like to know why. Maybe we need a change in management and thinking down there in the Health Department since they allowed the citizens of the community to be victimized so they can investigate, while it is as clear as the nose on a first year medical students face what happen. I commend and thank the City of Las Vegas for stepping up to the plate and doing the RIGHT thing by yanking the facilities license. Now when is the County going to step up to the plate and do something about their sister facility on Burnham (in the County), which was also reusing vials as reported in the paper today. Even one life ruined is too much. Not only should the doctors be criminally charged but any of the nurses and anesthesiologist who went along with this stupid policy should be charged. They shouldn’t even be allowed to continue to practice. None of them should be allowed to practice ever again. They can't be trusted. They should publish all their names in the paper so we all know who they are. I don’t know how these people live with themselves. Now I must wait for my results to come back.
