HOLY COW!!!!
« on: December 27, 2010, 12:12:47 PM »
I was just going along and doing my civic duty.  We decided at DialysisEthics it would be a good idea to put state_inspections_and_lawsuits on the website as a way for staff and those on dialysis to see what can go wrong at a clinic.  Things were going along as I would have expected, when I came upon Colorado's El Paso county!

If I was davita I would consider giving up on reuse, their TWO incidents in just ONE county sure seemed to upset the state of Colorado and the press (see related articles in inspection reports).  Makes me wonder how many incidents go unreported.  El Paso sure looked like an epicenter of trouble there for awhile:
