We know who caused the problem...Dr. Desai and his group of uncaring Doctors - why not have them pay for it? That is right - Dr. Desai is friends with Senator Reid, and a long list of other very influential people, which as we know makes it very difficult in this state to get justice for us common folk. This was without question a willful act by Dr. Desai, and because of this his assets should be seized or frozen until this is finished in a court of law.

He tried to pay off his two Mercedes and have them shipped to Dubai...it seems like he has not a care in the world. The public should not have to pay one penny for any of this. Dr. Desai and his band of renegades should foot the bill for every last cent. All of the doctors and nurses that were involved in this should have their licenses taken away until the disposition of this case is final...all doctors & nurses.

Harrah's & Dr. Desai should join forces as they both have the very same ethical standards...NONE! Harrah's illegally remodeled their hotel rooms and left every room unsafe for their guests for many years. In the process, Harrah's exposed their workers & guests to asbestos during the course of their illegal remodel projects...knowingly & willfully. Yeah, Desai & Harrah's should partner up...maybe put endoscopy clinics right in their hotels or possible offer room service.

Can you see the theme here? The laws of this state do not apply to everyone equally, and if you have a lot of money they don't apply at all. They both should be prosecuted for willful acts...

Are u Lopez?? hhahha or just a competing GI doc. Why not have the guts to say your name as per you all you are doing is public service.....a hol........e

Concerned Physician wrote on April 30, 2008 08:35 PM: This whole process is being handled very poorly. All of the GI doctors in the practice should have their licenses suspended pending completion of the medical board and criminal investigation. It does not make sense to allow these physicians to continue to see patients and cause further harm to Nevada citizens. We need to stand up for the rights of the citizens and stop protecting these physicians.
Until the physicians involved cooperate with the state medical board, they should automatically be barred from practicing in Nevada and all other parts of the US.
Our medical community is already very stressed by numerous factors, but this scandal has created great distrust of physicians in the local community. It is time for the State Medical Board to put a stop to this circus. Suspend all licenses of the involved physicians and CRNAs that worked in the GI group until they are individually cleared.

John Q. Public wrote on April 30, 2008 04:27 PM: Of course the authorities are going to let Dr Desai leave the country, they don't want to do anything about this anyway, now it will just all go away and the people infected, well they can just suck it up.

Justice for no one in Nevada

Disgraceful wrote on April 30, 2008 02:47 PM: All boils down to the same old common denominator. Those that have big money can do as they please. They just pay off the cops, judges, and politicians. This is nothing new. It is the way things have always been. The only person these bastards will ever have to answer to is their maker.

Really!! TEMPORARILY SUSPEND THEIR LICENSE. If this would have been any regular business, they would have had their license revoked and never ever been able to get one again. Remember, MONEY TALKS!!

Important petition wrote on April 30, 2008 01:12 PM: Nevadans! Sign this petition to stand up for what's right.

Click here to sign the petition.

We, the undersigned, object to the process used to select Dr. Michael D. Richards as the College of Southern Nevada President. First, Dr. Michael D. Richards signed a contract to become the Interim President and the contract stipulated that he would not become a candidate for the permanent job. When the national job search was conducted candidates applied for the job based on that good faith assumption.

Secondly, Dr. Richards broke his contract and then did not follow nationally published procedures to enter the candidate pool. Specifically, he joined the pool after the search closed, and was therefore able to forego competing with the other candidates to become a finalist.

We strongly feel that two better-qualified finalists for the job were passed over in favor of Interim President Mike Richards who was by far the weakest and least experienced of the three finalists.

Since it has become apparent that Dr. Richards might not enjoy the majority support of the CSN faculty, we request that at your upcoming May 1 meeting you ask for a vote of confidence from the CSN faculty before you nominate Dr. Richards as CSN President.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned

The NV AG had better contact the Dept of Homeland Security and get his passport secured. He likely is going to owe Medicare tens of millions of dollars for fraudulent billing, and likely also is the kind to commit massive IRS fraud. He needs to be incarcerated and his assetts seized as he has now essentially declared himself a flight risk.

Where will the money come from to pay for the care of the patients he has infected with Hepatitis C if he and Mrs. Desai are living it up in luxury in Dubai?
