THIS WEEK'S BUSINESS PRESS POLL QUESTION

Log onto the Las Vegas Business Press Web site and let us hear your opinion on this week's question.

A Henderson physician and health adviser to Gov. Jim Gibbons said he is considering buying two of the three clinics owned by Dr. Dipak Desai, whose gastroenenterology practice is at the center of a massive hepatitis alert. Dr. Rudy Manthei, founder of the Nevada Eye & Ear and principal owner of Seven Hills Surgery Center, said the clinics are needed to serve the residents of the Las Vegas Valley and that he would encourage the physicians who worked for Desai to practice at the facilities.

"Do you agree the clinics' former physicians should be encouraged to return to practice at the facilities if Manthei purchases them?"
