LAS VEGAS—UPI is reporting that lawyers for Dr. Dipak Desai will seek a change-of-venue hearing June 30 and request that the trial be moved from Southern Nevada to Carson City because of "an avalanche of negative and sensational media coverage."
Desai is facing 22 medical malpractice lawsuits from patients who claim they were exposed to hepatitis C from the unsterilized equipment used at his Endoscopy Center of Southern Nevada.
