Interesting comments. I stand by the premise that you can lay the blame on everyone else however the real blame is on the physicians and nurses who were practicing the unsantitary behaviors. Unless inspections are conducted everyday during business hours there is still room for error. I could go on and on and on about cuts Governer Gibbons has made that affect the Valley's healthcare. However, I am sure he will do a complete 360 and be talking out the other side of his a**. He reminds me of the Governer in the movie "The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas". First he insinuates that the media is blowing the "crisis" up bigger than it needs to be and then not even a week later he is firing people. Maybe he should look at what he already has done to the states healthcare! He needs to be impeached! Being one of the 40,0000 people that this has affected maybe we should tie governer Gibbons up and inject him with anesthesia from a dirty syringe and contaminated vial while we are sticking a dirty hose up his you know where and let him be on pins and needles awaiting the results. He keeps saying that there are only 6 people who have tested positive. Maybe he needs to get his facts straight. #1 The numbers are well over 6 and #2 Even one person who tests positive because of unsterile procedures is too many. Before he fires Ms. Jones from the Bureau maybe he should look in the mirror and admit his responsibility in all this.

As one of the 40,000 plus (no one is bothering to think about spouses, boyfriends, girlfriends etc. who have been affected) I am appaled at the fact that people could even begin to make excuses for why these people did what they did. You can blame Gibbons, you can blame the Bureau of Licensure and Certification, you can blame anyone you want. You can try to figure out why these people made the decisions they made to practice the way they did. You see the fact is this: for money Desai and his merry men decided that they were more important than God himself. Desai is so materialistic that he practiced by playing a game of Russian Roulette with people's lives. One of the earlier articles I read indicated that Dr. Desai was instrumental in getting the cap on malpractice suits passed. While some people sue health care providers and facilities for honest mistakes, they rarely find that people intentionally harmed someone. In this case it is so much different. Desai instructed his employees to expose thousands of people to disease. It doesn't matter if the number of people who test positive is low. One positive case is too many! What about the nurses and other physicians that went along with his practices? They want you (us) to believe that they went along with these practices becuase they had to make a living! I believe the exact phrase was "to put food on the table". What a joke. There is a nursing shortage out there. It is not like Desai's practice is the only place there is to work. I have to wonder if the nurses too were reaping some monetary benefits as well. I am a nurse and myself as well as other nurses I work with and in the community are embarrassed to say that we are nurses. These people, simply for greed, have made the community afraid to seek medical attention. If the nursing board and medical boards feel that a simple slap on the hand is all these people deserve, I truely hope that the justice system prevails. These people should not only have their licenses to practice taken away from them they should serve jail time. A lifetime sentence isn't even enough for them.
