ANOTHER UPDATE. In checking the 40,000 patients in Las Vegas that may have been exposed to hepatitis due to re-use of syringes by CRNAs providing anesthesia, 77 more patients were found to be positive. They are now doing further investigation to see if it is the same strain as the previous exposures. The two doctors who own the clinic have had their licenses suspended pending further investigation. They also ordered by the courts to clear with the court any money transfer of over $50,000 out of the USA. Seems the court wants to make sure the money will be available for plaintiffs and settlements. And here we are, two months out and the Nevada State Board of Nursing still has not put the names of the offending nurses on their website. The next scheduled posting is in the week of May 12-16.
