The Telegraph, based out of Calcutta, India took notice of the Southern Nevada health scare Thursday. And not just because of the large number of unsuspecting victims it has effected and potentially fatal diseases for which it is responsible. According to The Telegraph, Doctor Dipak Desai attended Gujarat University in Gujarat, India.
The Telegraph also reported on Dr. Desai's extensive political influences in both the Republican and Democratic Parties of Nevada in addition to his underhanded practices as both a member and chairman on the board which investigated allegations that his gastroenterologists were not licensed.
Time to find out who this "doctor" has been paying off?
Where is the information that his gastroenterologists were not licensed? I think he was fined by the board for falsely advertising that one his doctors was board certified. The doctor was well trained and licensed .
I would love to know who Dr. Death's political contributions are going to?
Well Mr. Ralston points out that the good(bad?)doctor Desai was part of the Gibbons transition team in a recent incoherent rambling Jon mistyped and someone obviously mistakenly published here. ;)
How much you wanna bet the State Epidemiologist was recommended by Desai.
Oh BTW check out the Elsewhere blog link over there--------------------------------------------------------->>>>
Apparently the Indian press has something to say about the good doctor. :)
It wasn't that the gastroenterologists were not licensed; they were not Board-certified and Desai advertised that they were. You cannot claim you are Board-certified if you are not. Board certification means you have passed Board tests; which those doctors did not do. Obviously, given the circumstances of the last few weeks, being licensed doesn't mean the doctor is a good doctor.
True. The report incorrectly stated they were not licensed, which if it is true would of a problem of completely different magnitude.
Not being licensed is a much, much more serious problem and breach of trust than false advertising.
Want to hear something really incredible? When Desai was "slapped on the wrist" for false advertising by the Nevada Medical Board, he was on the Board, served as Chairman of the Investigative Committee, and the Board actually discussed how they could dismiss the complaint against him. He got off with just a fine and stayed appointed to the Board. Seems to me that any other person would have been dismissed from any position of authority over their peers. Welcome to Nevada!
Always a red flag: when a person has "extensive political influences in BOTH the Republican and Democratic parties". Then it's so obvious that they're just covering a trail of fraud by paying off everyone.
Practicing without a license is illegal. Whether his doctors were board certified or not is irrelvant. What is important is whether they were well trained and competent in their field. They could all be of Indian descent and still be outstanding doctors.
Neither licensure nor certification can guarantee the honesty of a doctor. It is up to the individual doctor to abide by the Hippocrates oath. Not all do.
