Followup - First company sent by warranty co said her compressor was (1)not bolted down (2) had a grounded compressor- I had the people I use (Deke's AC goand check it (1) It was bolted down (2) The compressor was locked not grounded (3) had a bad condenser motor - Bad condenser motors can lock compressors and eventually damage them.
First plumbing replaced Compressor - it worked a day and then they had to replace the condenser motor - also part came in on Tuesday and they made my Mom wait till 9PM wed to do the repair - which only lasted 10 hours
Just went thru this with my Mom's house - she is 82 -- with a home warranty - total time without ac 7 days - #1 Plumbing and Heating tried the disposal scam but I fought them on it - first they said Nevada requires it and then that the Home Warranty Company required it - finally they gave up. They sent a tech at 9PM to replace the compressor - He was on the roof to 12:30AM after working since 6AM that day!!! It worked for about 10 hours and then blew again. Guess what they replaced the wrong part and had to return to replace the condenser motor - still have a call into them because they left the door wide open to the circuit breaker box on the AC.

How can you possibly say
"I can understand the observation team not interfering with the procedures and I would understand the big picture could include finding something else other than propofol contamination that might apply to other facilities, Another poster made an inference that the procedure was corrected on the 11th, and I would say this was fast action."
You could seriously understand if you or someone you love was lying on that table while the Health Department looked on, "WIDE-EYED"?
I can not understand it - it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever when one human being was in that room and could have stopped the needle from entering another human being. They already saw one of the sources of contamination happen when the syringe or vial was being re-used. They certainly did not need to see it injected into someone and then go to lunch, according to the latest report, before they said anything about not doing it.
Here's something pretty interesting - I am checking to see if there are any other things people should be hecked for and went looking for a list that the State of Nevada monitors - when I found this right on their website - Notice the word vacant?

I have been stunned, angered, scared, in a state of disbelief since learning of the exposure thousands of people who are someone’s sisters, fathers, mothers, brothers, uncles, aunts, friends, sons, daughters, nieces, nephews, grandmothers, grandfathers faced this past week.
Greed, stupidity, fear of losing a job are some of the reasons which will come forward but I am having the most difficult time with wrapping my head around this:
The investigative team entered the clinic in full force the next day. Barrett was in the group that commandeered a conference room to cross-reference a log of clinic patients with a computer database of more than 20,000 known hepatitis C carriers in the county, to determine whether any recently identified carriers might have contracted it at the clinic.
Wide-eyed investigators could not intervene to stop the process because they needed to document every step without disturbing the nurses’ routine, for sake of the larger mission.
“If we shut it down, another place opens and they do the same procedure,” Labus said. “We had to look at the big picture. We had to think of the community in the long term.”
I wonder about those moments when Labus and Barrett looked into the eyes of the person lying on the table, about to get that injection, had it been a relative or friend of theirs, would they only have been capable of being Wide-eyed or would they have done what they should and stopped the procedure.
Their logic reminded me of Star Trek The Wrath of Khan - Don't grieve, Admiral -- it's logical: the good of the many outweighs --
... the good of the few... Or the one.
Each and every person who was treated at that clinic deserved better, The people who were at that clinic on Jan 10 while Labus and Barrett assisted have to live with knowing that help was there, just not for them.
