This came out over the end of last week and LAwyers have sent a letter to some one in the Government here about getting punishment for all peoples envoled.
also four other clinics are on the list. Today on the news they were talking about these DOctors may have already took their money else where and also may have moved out of the country.
All nurses and helpers have lost their jobs.
It is said that they were reusing the suringes and also possibly the needles. and it is looking like it went way down the line of personnel!

Wow this kind of thing seems to be happening more frequently. Whether it occurs because people are lazy, distracted, trying to save money it is appalling!
So much for the honoring of their Hippocratic oath..to cause harm to none. I guess greed overrides that these days.
What a shocking, distressing thing to discover. I do not envy those 40.0000 whose lives will never be the same.
Informative, thought provoking post...thanks Lakota!

Yes, you find good things to share...very informative.
Too bad it took something like this to have them closed down. I cannot imagine what it would be like to receive news like that.
Anyway...good to have some to visit you here.

Wow... this is scandalous! It went on for four years before it came to light... that's awful! Forty thousand is one heck of a lot of people to have to check out, and this is all down to the medical profession again... you know, that bunch who told us more people die from smoking related diseases than any other! Grrrrrrrrrrrrr... let me punish them!
Brightest Blessings. xxxx
