Thankfully the Desert Shadow Endoscopy Center has been shut down. Obviously with the same administration, the same dangerous practices occurred there also. It would be negligent at this point to not notify patients exposed at this facility that they also need to be tested. I underwent a colonoscopy at this clinic in Jan. 2007. Just prior I had been hospitalized with diverticulitis and was in extreme pain in the recovery room. A nurse was sent in to speed up my recovery and free up the bed and she pushed, shoved, and rolled me around exacerbating the pain until I could not stand it any more and just said "let me go -- I'll be fine" -- just in an effort to get her to stop. Dr. Desai's name is all over my paperwork. And now to find out they did not even properly cleanse the endoscopy equipment. How can medically trained personnel intentionally inject innocent patients with contaminated vials of drugs knowing they may be injecting a fatal blood borne virus. How did they go home and sleep at night? Why did no one have the integrity to step up to the plate and report these practices as the law requires them to do? Absolutely criminal!! And shocking!! And sickening!!! The "evidence" required for this facility is obvious. Simply because the investigation took place at the Shadow Lane clinic and the investigators "observed" what was being done there -- it would indeed be niave to believe that the Desert Shadow clinic did any different.
