It is a shame that all that matters is "how much money can I make off the patient and their Ins Co". No compassion at all for the sick and dying. Not all doctors are this way, but at this Endoscopy clinic they are!! To all Patients and future patients, please, do a quick search on the back ground of the doctor that you want to treat you. If something big is listed, move on. You will find a good doctor, but it will take some time and research. Like the nurse said, who works in Nevada, go to another state to get treated. Las Vegas hospitals are the same in bad patient care in hiring over seas nurses that you can barely understand their english. These hospitals are not about good patient care. They too are only out for the money. They can hire a over seas nurse and pay them a lot less then to hire a nurse trained and worked here in the USA. Shame on the State of Nevada!! I have a dear friend who works in a Las Vegas Hospital,and says patients complain all the time about these over seas nurses. Shame, Shame, Shame!!!

Nevada medical board members should resign and new members be brought in.

Get out if you can wrote on July 02, 2009 06:50 PM: I am a nurse in this town. Leave the state for your medical care if you can. It is worse than you even know!

Greg wrote on July 02, 2009 05:47 PM: How about a Michael Clayton moment.

Lawyers on legal row in downtown Vegas have been making big money on med mal for years in Southern Nevada. Didn't Bob Vannah alleged state, while allegedly wired, that he made over 100 mil in one year, with influence over some (undisclosed who) Federal District Judges in Nevada. That was reported in the public domain (Las Vegas Weekly, Medical Mafia story).

These crap stories like Endoscopy Center of Nevada just put money in their pockets, and they get to wear the white hats and make the feel good statements, publicly.

But privately, they know the people of influence-control in Nevada healthcare, some are good friends, and everybody goes home happy, well kept.

There are no white hats in this story, none.

Then there's Dr. Anwar ("Dr. NO"), who has excused himself from the board for whatever action the board takes on this matter.

Low cost reimbursement structures, which build a protective fence from new healthcare provider competition, creates a feeding frenzy for med mal cases.

Then there are the gaming companies, which chose to provide self-funded, self-insured, in-house healthcare to their employees, whch they lack the expertise to do. So, they contract the expertise, from the same insider circle of doctors and consultants.

Attorneys are afraid of them unless there is a BIG payoff, which there never is because corporations won't risk the big stuff. The corporations bide their time waiting for federal solutions with federal funding, what they say, while practicing cost containment when they see a clear opening (legally) on employees case to case who have no idea how to read an insurance clause.

It's a fiefdom circle. The best thing that can happen is there is federal government action against these doctors, or civil appeals at least make it to San Fran.

Vince wrote on July 02, 2009 04:35 PM: Tripple....you got it down pat. The nurses did this all on their own. Yeah...that's what she wants us to believe...sure they did.

Carrera pays the rent, owns the business, hires and fires people but he doesn't know anything. He at least should be charged with stupidity.

I wonder how that flies with the IRS. I wonder if he can give them that excuse too. "I didn't know what was happening."

The REAL corruption here is in the Board. You can't have people in the practice overseeing their peers. A civilian review board is required. And I volunteer.

I was one of the people who got the letter to get tested for AIDS or HIV. I did and thankfully it was negative but some people didn't turn out as well.

And the Board allows him to practice after that.....it's truly absurd.
