Monday Roundup


Congratulations to Nevada! We're the most dangerous state in the union 5 yrs running (AOL)

In Med Mal news:
While some Nevadans are re-thinking the medical malpractice cap in the light of Endoscopy Center's egregious practices (Reno Gazette-Journal), Gov. Gibbons is defending the medical center. He states only 6 people of the potential 40,000 patients have been actually diagnosed with Hep-C and the media is to blame for the hysteria surrounding the clinic. (Sign On San Diego)
[as a tabloid blog, I take exception to the Governor's statement. I never stuck anyone with a Hep-C infected needle to save costs. I think the clinic may have caused the hysteria all on its own]
Meanwhile, the Gov. asked three medical board members to resign to avoid potential conflicts of interest in the investigation of the clinic. (Review-Journal)
Note to criminal defendants: wear the right clothes when you get sentenced. Judges admit it matters (Lahontan Valley News)
