Posted on: CityCenter: One man's concept of a real city

artswanson,

Heather Murren indeed lives in Las Vegas; She is cofounder, chairwoman and CEO of the Nevada Cancer Institute.

When you read the line of the story, "Murren's wife, Heather, also a high-powered Wall Street analyst, had never even been to Las Vegas," that was in reference to the point in time that Jim Murren was joining MGM Mirage.

Posted on: Hospital privacy leak could harm patients

Randy, we considered the issues you raised, and here is why we published the story.

The hospital knew something of this leak for months and did not take any significant action. The chairman of the hospital's board of trustees knew specifics of the leak for about 10 days and took no significant action to stop it.

Meanwhile, there's reason to believe that, day after day, private patient information is being leaked from the hospital. This puts the public at immediate risk. The hospital did not decide to take aggressive action until the Sun made inquiries.

As for seeking a headline that would turn us a profit, I note that you're reading the story online - for free.

Posted on: Foreign doctors’ sponsor investigated for alleged mistreatment

Planet earth,

I need to stop reading some of these comments because they frustrate me so with their misinformation and insinuation.

What do you mean by "third world medical care"? The doctors participating in the visa program have Nevada medical licenses. They are as technically proficient as home-grown doctors.

And the program is intended to promote health care in areas where there are not enough doctors. Are you suggesting that we should turn our backs on foreign-born doctors who are willing to work in underserved areas and have Nevada medical licenses?

At issue, as this article explains, is how these doctors are being exploited by local employers.

Tom
