In response to lswaaley’s writing, and I quote, ‘If this based on the corporate or administrators guidelines, then criminal charges also need to be filed against them. What would happen if they (employees, corporate or administrators) were the patient in the hospital dying in the Emergency Room’, unquote.

The written guidelines are in most cases correct and 99% foolproof. Following such guidelines will provide very good care but requires well trained medical staffing and expenses. While one can get well trained medical staffing within the country (and there are many at present, working in Las Vegas), and from outside USA, what is not available is the will of hospital CEO’s, administrators, and people who make policies for the community, like health legislative council etc, to do what is right.

By not fully implementing guidelines, the hospital saves money and so makes money. The priority of hospitals and insurance companies in our country, the USA, is making money, and to do that, compromises are made. Obviously, instruction’s which compromises patient care on a day to day basis are not done in writing, hence it is hard to prove, should one think of taking these people to justice. Having said that, where there is a will there is a way.

The agencies which monitor health care are rife with corruption. Examples of such are the recent expose in this newspaper of blatant and open abuse of foreign doctors, in Las Vegas. There is proof that the monitoring agencies were more than aware but corrupt officials looked away. Hepatitis scare: This situation arose with the knowledge of medical personnel all over Las Vegas, not only that, but Dr. Death and other doctors who worked with him were members of monitoring agencies, agencies who are supposed to monitor such matters. It is free for all in Las Vegas, with the blessing of corruption.

To what would happen if they (employees, corporate or administrators) were the patient in the hospital dying in the Emergency Room.
What would happen is this. The nursing administration will go on red alert, so nursing care will be provided. The doctors will be making frequent rounds. Other medical personnel, inclusive of nurses and doctors, would be wagging their tails in front of CEO’s, Politicians etc. Let me assure you that, most of the people you talk about, do not get their medical care in Las Vegas. For example, if a politician were to need medical care, the Federal Government pays for their choice of medical facility and all who serve Las Vegas, go elsewhere. If the government were to say, you serve Las Vegas, get your medical care in Las Vegas, you will see how quickly changes would be made.

So this is how the situation is. We the population of Las Vegas have power. We unfortunately accept such treatment of us, without even raising an eyebrow.

The Name of the Game in Las Vegas is GREED, greed for money, greed for power

One ethnic group is forefront in corrupting the medical practice in Las Vegas. Almost all doctors named in recent Las Vegas Sun reporting regarding abuse of J1 doctors and Hepatitis scare, are prominent members of Las Vegas community of Indian origin

All blame must not be directed towards this ethnic group, as without the nod of state monitoring agencies, these doctors could not corrupt the practice of medicine in Las Vegas. There coming to prominence is favored by powerful members of our community, who knowingly or unknowingly fulfilled the ambition of these doctors, greed for money, greed for power. When talking with employees and others in social circles, very often these greedy doctors drop names of politicians, as their friends, so as to show power and gain prestige, which they then use to abuse, people and medical practice, fulfilling their innate desire and fervour for money and power.

Normal deviance, yes, this is true. Example, in India to get a telephone line, one bribes, to get a child entered to school, one bribes, in fact many aspects of life in India is fraught with corruption and bribery. People have no choice but to bribe. This is considered normal in India, a normal deviation.

When people leave India, they bring the good and the not good of India with them, as commonly quoted in Asian television programs and I quote, ‘You can take a person out of India, but you cannot take India out of a person’, unquote. True. Corruption is norm for these greedy Indian doctors.

Corruption exists in many countries, but doctors coming from these countries are not corrupt. Education teaches one to stay within rules and regulations, even when one is greedy for money and power. Education stops one from breaking laws and rules.

Question for David Forman, assistant professor of philosophy, at UNLV. Why education has not taught doctors of Indian origin to stay within the norms of rules and regulations?

I guess greed is much more basic and stronger force in the inside of these doctors, supplemented by their intelligent ability to get powerful people behind them, allowed these doctors to fulfil their greedy ambitions of acquiring wealth by hook or by crook, at the expense of patients, Hepatitis, at the expense of colleagues, abuse of J1 doctors.
