We had a nurse at a major hospital here who was a drug addict swapping out syringes with a narcotic from the OR. She infected a number of people with Hep C.
We had a nurse at a major hospital here who was a drug addict swapping out syringes with a narcotic from the OR. She infected a number of people with Hep C. A nurse with whom I worked for years in an ER suffered a needlestick during a code and a few months later she tested positive for Hep C and HIV.So,in health care facilities,patient/staff cross infections can run both ways.
