Lawsuits Coming in Case of Vegas Clinic Allegations

The AP reports that up to 40,000 received word this week that they may be at risk of illness due to their visits to the Endoscopy Center of Southern Nevada (which has been ordered closed and an appeal denied). Among other things, investigations indicate that the clinic routinely reused syringes and vials, allegedly as a cost-savings measure.

As the AP article notes, suits have been filed already; a Google search for the clinic name comes up with a number of lawyer ads, including one identified as “Nevada Health Alert” (only once you follow the link do you find out that it’s a lawyer advertisement).
