I also was a patient of Dr. Desai, and had a procedure performed at one of his clinics in July 2007.

Yes, the news is terrifying, but using this tragic situation as a cover for racism and prejudice is sickening. Dr. Desai's ethnicity has nothing to do with this. Greed and avarice rear their ugly heads in all ethnic groups.

What an informative, well-written article; you'd never have known the coordinated effort going on all around the city to deal with the fire from the broadcast TV (local and national) coverage.

They're evacuating a 3000 room casino - the pedestrian traffic alone is incredible, let alone the traffic from all the fire and paramedic crews. Of course there's going to be some road closures!
