While I’m holding firm that Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto didn’t indict Lt. Gov. Brian Krolicki because she’s a Democrat and he’s a Republican, she must accept blame for a case that’s gone out the door because a judge said the indictment was poorly written.
Dr. Daniel Burkhead believes he has lost more than $1 million after Drs. Mark Kabins and John Thalgott blamed him, and him alone, for a patient becoming a paraplegic. In April, the Las Vegas anesthesiologist sued both doctors for slander, plus a third doctor in Louisiana, Charles Aprill, who served as their “expert” claiming Burkhead was totally responsible for the problems stemming from the treatment of Melodie Simon in 2000.
After Melodie Simon finished reading page after page of admissions of guilt from her former doctor detailing how he cut deals to dodge being sued by her for malpractice, she looked like she’d been slapped in the face.
From the start, Lt. Gov. Brian Krolicki took the position his indictment was fueled by partisan politics.

The wait is over. The Nevada Board of Medical Examiners has restored malpractice information to its Web site so you can check out your doctor’s medical malpractice history. They’ve even added educational and training information. All that is good.
