More Nevada Surgery Clinics to Be Cited

Hey fat people, are the extra Calories really worth the risk?

Look at some of the involved - the Endoscopy Center of Southern Nevada, the Gastrointestinal Diagnostic Center in Las Vegas, the Digestive Health Center in Reno, the Endoscopy Center of Southern Nevada.

"The state swore to quickly inspect all 50 Nevada outpatient surgery centers after it was discovered the Endoscopy Center of Southern Nevada spread the blood-borne virus to at least six patients by reusing syringes and sharing vials of medication...

The Gastrointestinal Diagnostic Center in Las Vegas will be cited for repeatedly reusing syringes, he said. Willden could not say whether the center also reused medication vials. Clark County pulled the center's business license, shutting it down shortly after the announcement...

Willden said the Digestive Health Center in Reno had problems with sterilization of equipment, but he did not elaborate...

The FBI is investigating possible Medicare fraud at the Endoscopy Center of Southern Nevada, Rep. Jon Porter's spokesman, Matt Leffingwell, said."

IMHO, there will always be fraud, especially in the sick care and diet industries where much of it is a fraud from the get-go.

A lot of it thanks to Oprah, IMHO (and here and here).

Control Calories, control your life and protect yourself.

By the way, in the process you will become fitter and healthier. Your kids, too.
