***PATIENTS AND VICTIMS OF THE ENDOSCOPY CENTER OF NEVADA TAKE NOTICE***

The Law Firm of Benson & Bingham is aggressively pursuing victims of the tragedy announced by health officials regarding unsafe and possibly criminal mal-feasance by the Endoscopy Center of Southern Nevada. "We have signed up many victims already who want their rights protected and their cases investigated," says attorney Joseph Benson.

The Endoscopy Center of Southern Nevada is a high-volume gastrointestinal practice where colonoscopies are and were frequently performed. Reuse of syringes and vials at the facility was a "common practice" undertaken by everyone from doctors to technicians causing cross contamination of blood.

Hepatitis C, hepatitis B, and HIV/AIDS are all possible transmissions. If you or someone you know was a victim please get tested and call Benson & Bingham as soon as possible.

A syringe would become contaminated by the backflow of blood when patients with a blood-borne disease were injected with medication, That syringe, in turn, would be reused to withdraw medication from a different vial. That vial could become contaminated and result in infection with horrific consequences.

Call Benson & Bingham Today if:

1.) YOU WERE TREATED AT THE FACILITY: ENDOSCOPY CENTER OF SOUTHERN NEVADA between March 2004 and January 2008; AND

2.) YOU THINK YOU or KNOW SOMEONE YOU KNOW HAS EITHER BEEN INFECTED, OR DIED BECAUSE OF HEPATITIS C, or HAS CONTRACTED HIV.

Mr. Benson stated, "Not only do these practices amount to medical mal-practice/professional negligence, these could be considered criminal as the procedures in place were so careless, so egregious and reckless they are intended conduct. When you know that your actions could be risky and you do this to save a few pennies in costs, you have crossed the line. I would expect criminal charges to be brought by the District Attorney."

It is hard to believe a facility would have such an asinine policy in place in today's modern medicine practice.
