Gov. Jim Gibbons of Nevada has come out and made some comments in regards to the Las Vegas endoscopy center.  This health clinic was linked to an outbreak of hepatitis C, as well as medical violations. Gibbons has made some controversial remarks, coming to the defense of the center.  It has been the center of attention in the state since the practice of unsafe syringe use was discovered.

Gibbons has come out to the defense of the Las Vegas endoscopy center. He has been speaking out about various things in regards to these incidents, hinting at times that the media may have gone too far.

He has insisted that only six patients at the Endoscopy Center of Southern Nevada have been found to be infected with hepatitis C.

The practice of unsafe syringe use caused 40,000 people to be recommended for testing.  There is no word as of yet though in regards to what their final results are.

The governor stated though that a number as small as 40,000 is not enough to really worry.

He stated to the Reno Gazette-Journal that in a normal population, if 1.8% have hepatitis C, with 40,000 people being in danger, “we should’ve found at least, what, 700 people with hepatitis C.”

The article continues saying they don’t yet know if in fact syringes were reused. Regardless the governor here comes across really callous. If they fucked up just admit it and work to bring restitution to those harmed. Treating people like cattle so blatantly usually doesn’t go over well. The public prefers sheep and herded a bit less obviously. And why is it that the governor is even commenting in such a way when the clinic is apparently privately ran?
