Dr. Dipak Desai; or why we need trial lawyers

Maya at Suburban Guerrilla

This guy in Vegas exposes countless people to disease by ordering the reuse of needles at his clinic and the best he can do is sympathy? I cannot even conceive of any punishment bad enough to make justice.

Review Journal Letters to the Editor

Not long ago, an organization named Keep Our Doctors in Nevada pressured the Legislature into an emergency session and persuaded Nevada citizens to vote for medical malpractice protection, all in the name of a phony “medical malpractice crisis.”

Dr. Dipak Desai and the Endoscopy Center of Southern Nevada were among the practices behind the Keep Our Doctors in Nevada group. As a result, medical providers, including Dr. Desai and his clinic, are protected by caps on damage awards.

Does anyone now think $350,000 is adequate compensation for the pain and suffering that will be endured by any patient of Dr. Desai who contracts HIV/AIDS, hepatitis B or hepatitis C?
