Alright, so we had an interesting local news story. Most of the news stories were based heavily on what was in the local paper:
A North Las Vegas man was arrested last week after being accused of posing as a doctor, sedating victims and then [sexually] assaulting them when they were unconscious.
Now, that’s bad enough. He claimed to be licensed in Mexico and that’s “good enough,” right? Sure, blame good old fashioned medical board bureaucracy for keeping this “licensed professional” down.
Worse than this: known victims do include grown women and a 5 year old boy. What. The. Eff. This is wrong on so many levels I can’t even speculate. I haven’t the faintest idea what was allegedly done to this poor child nor why nor even how it was discovered. And just think, these are the known victims. The police are pretty sure there are unknown unknowns victims too.
But to me here’s the kicker. These crimes happened in the “doctor’s” home. These patients were so desperate for inexpensive medical care that they were not only willing to overlook his unusual licensing (assuming they did know enough to ask), but they were willing to go to a “clinic” run out of some guy’s living room.
The days of the old country doc seeing patients in a spare room were over decades ago, except in our underground economy. In the other economy, anybody can buy a white coat, start a “clinic,” and potentially assault, disfigure, or otherwise injure their patients. Sometimes, they even kill them.
And that’s why we need universal health insurance instead of mandatory health insurance.
In Closing: two new blood types; Jeb sounding almost reasonable; and just say no to police searches.
