Kudos to the comment posted by the Law Offices of Myers & Gomel for bringing this information to the public. I was Corporate Admin., for a medical practice that was forced to close; and I now wonder, were the doctors and nurses urged to practice in this fashion?

We need to realize what a real crisis this country is in. We are foolish if we believe that this was only happening at the Endoscopy Center of Southern Nevada. There will be many personnel across this great country that are now going to 'hopefully' question the cost saving measures they have been asked to make. Let's hope those in patient care have the guts to make the right decision and say it needs to stop. Make a hotline for anonymous tips, people will be fearful of losing their jobs. But we need to make the right moral decisions for these patients, because we are 'all' patients at one time or another. One of those patients put at risk could be one of your relatives; could be your mother or father or child.

The Medical Board, Nursing Board and other licensing bureaus will be busy, you can be sure. Judgement needs to be swift and carried out to the full extent of the law. Let's make sure these doctors never have the opportunity to do this again. This goes for the nurses as well. Sterile technique should never be allowed to be an option.

As far as the medical community, it will take a long time to recover. It will be costly and it will be brutal. Good doctors and nurses will be questioned and scrutinized; but they will prevail.

Shame on Dr. Desai and his partners. And shame on any personnel who followed this 'dirty little secret', all in the name of money.

God bless us.
