This too awaits you under the Obamanation’s coming universal health care plan. By “universal”, they mean that syringes will be “univerally shared”.

[Emperor Palpatine]

This is what happens under socialized medicine.

I'm not saying it was ok to reuse the syringes, but since they were being used to inject into an iv line, is there much chance of picking up a disease from contact with blood?

If not, it probably will become standard procedure under universal healthcare!

Isn't this wonderful, 'Government Health Care' working for the people.

Sort of like the new born babies that became infected with 'pseudomonas' (Canadian Government Health Care) because the drains where they washed the infants were never disinfected.

A farming community out in the boondocks. Well at least no one important could have been infected, huh Barry?

Ah, the joys of Socialized Medicine!

When the government pays the bills, the regulators and the cost-cutters are the same people. When that happens, the cost-cutters win, every time.

For an extreme example, look at China’s famous “Barefoot Doctor” program. These idiot went from village to village injecting people with useless and dangerous adulturated vitamin concoctions using the same syringe, over and over again. Sure the initial costs were low, but the outbreak of HIV and Hepatitis was not.

I remember, back in the Good Ol’ Days before HIV, I went to the International Airport in New Delhi, India for a live-virus innoculation for Yellow Fever. The 20 dose vial had to be expended once it was open, so there were 20 people standing in line, waiting for a shot.

The doctor flipped the plastic stopper off the top of the bottle, dipped in the needle, withdrew the medicine, and injected the first guy in line. He then proceeded to use the same needle and syringe to inject the next ten people in line, before he came to me.

He took one look at my white skin and my US Passport and calmly took the needle off the syringe, put on a new one, gave me my shot, and proceeded down the line.

Such were the Good Ol’ Days!

[popdonnelly]

Another sterling example of National Health.

Alberta patients potentially infected by re-used syringes

Compliments of socialized medicine.

Socialized Medicine aka Universal Health Care PING LIST

FReepmail me if you want to be added to or removed from this ping list.

NDP Leader Brian Mason said, “This government spends more money to educate drug addicts about not re-using syringes than they do for health professionals.”

God forfend you actually educate health professionals who work for your hospital on your own! NO! There has to be a GOVERNMENT PROGRAM. These people are sick with socialism and convinced that more socialism is the only cure.

Also like the part about the unwillingness of the hospital staff to talk to investigators, and the “no pointing fingers of blame” assurances.

Who, in this modern world, is so mind numbingly STUPID that they re-use needles, and think they need a government program to tell them not to?
