Kabins surgery on my wife’s back caused her injury which required more surgery by two other doctors to only partially correct. I chewed Kabins out but spent a year trying to find a lawyer to sue…not one lawyer would take the case. I finally found a lawyer in Carson City who reviewed the case and said he could and would take it on. After he arrived in Las Vegas he bowed out saying he made a mistake. This case involves many more lawyers in Las Vegas and hopefully has them on the run. I am now considering legal action again if I can find a lawyer that will handle it now that Kabins has been exposed. Any recommendations?

Great comments here. There is always the likelihood that people form one sided opinions about industries, just as we stereotype minorities and others. Just try not to let this happen to you. it won’t help the situation. As a San Francisco chiropractor, I see this happen all the time. My industry in particular is considered to be quacks, rip-offs, etc. I love my profession and what I do because of the huge benefit it seems to bring so many people. Are some MDs, Chiros, Psychiatrists, etc. criminals? Of course. But as I said, we’ve got to watch the lumping into sterertypes we so easily do.

I used to have a high opinion of the medical profession. But lately, I’ve come more and more to think that most of the doctors in Nevada are quacks. Partly that’s because of a couple friends who have needed medical care and whose doctors, to all appearances, were completely incompetent and apathetic. And partly, it’s because of infuriating stories like this one. It’s upsetting that people in such a vital profession would take such a lackadaisical attitude toward their responsibilities. The people we rely on the most only seem to care about themselves.

Interesting comments. Rumor has it that he was closing his office at year end, which seems odd if no plea today. especially to perjury and obstruction along with insurance billing mistakes…

Enjoyed the article, George.

I have been following all of the “white collar” crime cases the Federal Government has been pursuing locally lately. Not only in this “medical mafia” debacle, but also the FBI’s pursuit of people implicated in criminal wrongdoing with the foreclosure crisis. And I read a recent article where the investigators have mentioned it is “like shooting fish in a barrel,” because they find one, interrogate them, that one in turn flips and implicates others involved. They are just going down the line and preparing hundreds of prosecutable cases here in Nevada.

Because of the recent economic downturn caused in large part by people playing too fast and loose with money, some even making sure that criminal laws are disregarded, the Federal Government has jumped in and is fixing things. This is great that emphasis is placed on going after those who victimize others. These people are the so-called “professionals,” and it’s about time someone went after them and made them indeed act professional and be held to some form of job ethics.
