The City of Las Vegas went into action and has now closed the Endoscopy Center of Nevada.  

City officials have revoked the business license on Friday afternoon.  This was in response to the story dated last week of over 40,000 people who may have been infected with HIV, Hepatitis C and other blood borne diseases.  The outbreak was from the clinic sharing vials of medication.

Mayor Oscar Goodman said the clinic’s business license would be suspended until further notice.

The clinic issued a statement Wednesday saying it had cleaned up its practices and was cooperating with the health district’s investigation. For more information on this please visit: http://resource4thepeople.com/medicalmalpractice/anesthesiaerrors.html
