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?

The section of the legal code you are looking for appears to be
the section called RICO [racketeering influenced and corrupt
organizations] Act which allows both criminal and civil actions.
As this most likely involved Medicare funds the Feds should have
been on this like a chicken on a june bug.

for some preliminary RICO info see

§ 1962. Prohibited activities is particularly important in
this context.

Good luck, and the faster you act, the better the chance that
you paperwork won't be destroyed, or if it is, the judge will
rule contempt because of the destruction of evidence.

Nothing like long prison sentences, big fines and confiscation of
assets derived from RICO prohibited activities to focus ones
attention on medical ethics/responsibilities.
