What a week this has been. First, the Endoscopy Center of Southern Nevada, at 700 Shadow Lane, was closed for unsterile injection practices, and 40,000 of us former patients received a letter from the Health District recommending that we get blood tests for hepatitis B and C, and HIV. Then yesterday came the suspension of the licenses of three additional clinics run by the same doctors who own the Endoscopy Center, two at 4275 Burnham Ave. and one at 5915 S. Rainbow Blvd.
Now I realize that these jokers have had not two but THREE shots (pardon the pun) at getting me.
Then there was the ricin scare at an extended-stay motel, just a bit over a mile as the crow flies from our condo.
Tomorrow I go in for eye surgery, removing the cataract from my right eye and correcting the astigmatism. On the 19th I am scheduled for the same on my left eye. I know this is a very routine procedure. But I wonder if they would mind if I asked to look around the clinic a bit before they put me under.
As they say – just because you are paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t out to get you!
