Last week, the Clark County Health Department sent out 40,000 letters to
people who were former patients to come in and be tested for hepatitis and
HIV. I was one of them.

I don't know what they charge for a colonoscopy. But then they cheap out on
a syringe?

And it seems like there won't be a lot of punishment after all the furor
subsides, as always. Protected corporations, LLCs, doctors shielded from
malpractice by caps.

Perhaps, but 40,000 plaintiffs can mount one hell of a legal attack
and breach a lot of legal boilerplate. Even boilerplate has its
limits. It may not do each individual plaintiff much good, but it
certainly could serve to take out the malfeasors completely and
permanently.

Intentional murderous behavior.

Perhaps not intentional, but certainly depraved indifference. If
anyone dies as a result of this, someone will pay for it if there is a
prosecutor in Nevada that can fog a mirror. That's obviously and
unfortunately of no help to the victim(s), but it still must be
done.

The average street punk would be punished harsher.

Maybe not this time. Surrender may be a bit premature.

Meanwhile, my sincere best wishes that this loose bullet doesn't have
your name on it. It probably doesn't.

Our society is in decay, folks.

It does seem to be. Greed has been around forever, but only recently
has it become an accepted and sometimes valued behavior in the USA.
