About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Dr. Scott Mimms, Former Indiana University School of Medicine Graduate, Faces Over 15 Medical Malpractice Claims

Tabor Law Firm

INDIANAPOLIS, IN – Scott E. Mimms, MD, is an Indiana University School of Medicine graduate. For several years, Dr. Mimms practiced medicine with Advanced Surgery of Indiana in Indianapolis, focusing on cosmetic surgeries and procedures. 

Now, Dr. Mimms also faces over a dozen claims of medical malpractice from patients who claim that his failure to meet the standard of care in their treatment resulted in injuries. Experienced Indiana medical malpractice attorneys at the Tabor Law Firm are among those representing clients in claims against Dr. Mimms. 

Allegations Against Doctor, Scott Mimms

Injured patients claim Dr. Mimms negligently performed various bariatric and cosmetic surgeries and procedures. These patients claim that Dr. Mimms’ failure to meet the standard of care resulted in injuries, including serious infections like sepsis and permanent disfigurement beyond scarring expected in similar procedures. 

Other allegations against Dr. Mimms include that the surgeon:

  • Performed surgical or medical procedures at unlicensed facilities
  • Did not have a licensed anesthesiologist or certified nurse anesthetist present during procedures that would ordinarily call for one, and
  • Failing to use appropriate or sanitary techniques for anesthesia. 

Questions about Dr. Mimms’ medical practice include allegations that he performed surgical procedures in his Indianapolis office, which is not certified as an outpatient surgical center. In one case, a patient who received liposuction from Dr. Mimms later appeared at Community North Hospital with severe symptoms. The hospital’s medical staff discovered that the patient had suffered a punctured bowel. The damage led to sepsis, which ultimately proved fatal. 

Another case covered by CBS 4 focuses on a patient who wanted loose skin removed after she lost a significant amount of weight. The patient told CBS 4 that she woke up twice during surgery and that she still has scarring and pain from the procedure. She says she couldn’t breastfeed her newborn due to the lingering pain. 

Licensing Actions Against Dr. Mimms

Indiana licensing bodies and hospitals have already taken action to limit Dr. Mimms’ medical practice. An Indianapolis hospital recently revoked Dr. Mimms’ privileges to perform surgery in its facilities; Dr. Mimms claims he cooperated voluntarily in relinquishing his privileges. The Indiana Insurance Department reported that as of October 2022, Dr. Mimms had 17 malpractice claims on file; the number has since increased. 

The Indiana Attorney General also sought a suspension of Dr. Mimms’ license to practice medicine. An investigation by the state attorney general’s office resulted in a large file of documents related to Dr. Mimms’ practice and claims that the physician fell short of the standard of care in several instances, according to a Fox 59 news report. 

In January 2023, the Indiana Medical Licensing Board received a petition to act on Dr. Mimms’ continued medical licensing. The petition called Dr. Mimms a “clear and immediate danger” to the public, according to a Fox 59 news report. 

The petition was based on four complaints received by the Indiana Attorney General’s office, spanning nearly a year. The complaints come from several sources, including:

  •  The Indiana Professional Licensing Agency (IPLA), which had concerns about answers Dr. Mimms provided on a license renewal application,
  • A patient who claims she suffered complications after an arm lift surgery and that she paid for a breast augmentation that she never received,
  • Two fellow physicians, including one who notified the Attorney General’s office about the patient whose punctured bowel led to death by septic shock.  

On January 26, 2023, the Indiana Medical Licensing Board voted unanimously to issue a 90-day suspension of Dr. Mimms’ medical license. The board will reconsider the evidence at the end of this 90-day period. At that time, the board may choose to end the suspension or to continue it for a time the board will determine. 

Dr. Mimms told Fox 59 news that he is being treated as a “target” and a “scapegoat” by Community Health Systems and has considered filing a defamation action against Community Health.
