Re: Indian doctor in biggest US malpractice scandal
The fact that he’s Indian is irrelevant.
"Health authorities found that nurses used syringes more than once for individual patients, allowing their blood to taint vials of anesthetics that were then used for other patients, contaminating their blood — a violation of basic disease prevention methods.
Nurses told investigators that Desai and other managers ordered these shortcuts to save money."
A first year medical student could tell you that’s incredibly stupid and dangerous. As a physician, I’m usually rather skeptical about most of the big malpractice lawsuits you hear about (like the John Ritter wrongful death case)…but it sounds like this guy was down right reckless & negligent, and deserves what he has coming.
