Yikes!

We had a scandal here in Vegas 4 years ago over improper cleaning and reusing needles and vials. 14 doctors and tens of thousands of patients involved. Unfortunately some of them contacted hepatitis, and I believe a few have AIDS now. The MD that ran the whole operation is still fighting going to trial, with his lawyers arguing he's too sick now to go to court. And most of the doctors involved are still practicing here. Talk about a crock.

For the record, hospitals are NO place to get better!
