We're From The Government, And we Are Here To Help...Not

From the LVRJ: The outpatient clinic inside Rawson-Neal Psychiatric Hospital, which opened in July with high hopes that it would eventually turn into a 24-hour-a-day operation, shut down Friday after falling short of federal standards.
The clinic had opened with the goal of helping patients avoid trips to the valley’s often-crowded emergency rooms.
However, the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services found that it didn’t meet standards as required by the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act. Federal officials found problems with properly maintaining the emergency room log, appropriate transfers and medical screening exams.
State officials have disagreed with the federal agency’s findings, saying that the clinic wasn’t intended to be a medical emergency room that fell under those regulations.
The clinic was available Friday, and staff could make referrals for clients to three state-run outpatient clinics in Las Vegas and Henderson, said Dr. Tracey Green, the state’s chief medical officer, on Friday.
“It was really very disappointing for us,” Green said. “Because in order to really have impact, we had opened to expand this to a 24/7 facility. We’ve got to look for alternatives.”  http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/las-vegas-psychiatric-clinic-closes-under-federal-pressure
So, an effort to help out emergency rooms by sending psychiatric patients to a specialized clinic is closed down by the Fed's.  Sounds like the bureaucrats had their nose so far up the rule books they didn't realize how good the program was helping.
And this.
From the LVRJ:
The zoo days are over in Moapa, at least for now.
Clark County code inspectors have shut down the popular Roos-N-More animal attraction in the town 55 miles north of Las Vegas.
The 3-acre zoo run by husband-and-wife veterinarians was slapped with a cease and desist order after a Jan. 10 inspection that revealed several violations, mostly concerning the operation of a business on residential property.
None of the problems involve the health or treatment of Jay and Valerie Holt’s menagerie of almost 400 animals, according to county spokesman Dan Kulin.
Valerie Holt said she was told they need to install a commercial septic system and flush toilets before they will be allowed to reopen. They also were told they can no longer let visitors inside what used to be their family home on the property unless they bring it up to commercial building standards, she said.
The septic system alone could cost $100,000 or more — money Holt said they simply don’t have and can’t possibly raise with no revenue coming in.
“We are closed,” she said, “but I still need to feed and take care of these animals.”...
Holt is frustrated because she feels like the county already signed off on the operation when it issued the zoo a special-use permit in 2009 and renewed it in 2011. She said code enforcement officials knew all along that the zoo was using portable toilets for visitors but they never cited it as a problem until now.
“They keep changing the rules on us. That’s how this feels,” she said.  http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/clark-county-shuts-down-popular-zoo-Moapa
So, the zoo that has been opened for several years, with the Clark County's permission is shut down by another bureaucrat with their noses up a up and without a bit of common sense, shut down the zoo based on only 1 complaint.
So, in these two cases, some bureaucrat, with no common sense whatever shut down an emergency room that helps out psychiatric patients and shut down a zoo that benefits many visitors.
Maybe just maybe, these bureaucrats and their supervisors need to get out and live in the real world instead of fantasy world where everything is perfect.
