Forty thousand Nevadans soon will receive word that they might have been exposed to HIV and hepatitis strains B and C in what a federal health official called the largest notification of its kind in U.S. history.

Well, there you go, making sense.
Isn't it interesting how people who can see through Obama the Messiah believe that lawyers are messiahs and that lawsuits bring about Change and Hope?
Should we tell them that the whole system is collapsing, or just let them file suit?
This should be a criminal offense. If the families raise a stink, maybe they'll find a way to treat it like one.
Hmmm
Probably because they hired some Muslim hospital workers who refuse to even roll up their sleeves to wash.
Mark my words.
“Forty thousand Nevadans soon will receive word that they might have been exposed to HIV and hepatitis strains B and C “
And then those 40,000 have husbands, wives, mates, families........the list just grows.
Thank God I get my medical care in northern Nevada.
WOW thats just disgusting.
So, let's inject them with the same stuff. Fair is fair.
Exactly! You’ve noticed how many of these cases of wrongdoing in the medical profession concern foreign doctors.
scary stuff.
Somebody has GOT to be kidding me. I give my diabetic dog two insulin shots a day and would NEVER reuse the same needle. They go right into the old coffee can, and when the coffee can is full of used needles it goes back to the vet for disposal.
I just cannot believe this....
Just having a colonoscopy is bad enough without having to worry about the sanitation of the procedure!
Your question about the dates is most valid, and it would certainly help to alleviate anxiety for many by knowing those details. Health officials are doing no favors by omitting information related to suspected start date. For example, was there a memo or staff meeting directing employees to re-use syringes on or about March 2004, or a new hire?
Was the anesthetic injected via a heparin lock or a longer length of IV tubing? The former would explain syringe contamination more readily than the latter.
Furthermore, improper cleaning of the endoscopic equipment is receiving only cursory mention to date. This practice has been cited in at least two articles, but omitted in the SNHD press release. btw-the SNHD is doing the public a disservice by providing incomplete information. Their lack of detail portends CYA mode for their government agency and for the endoscopy center. SNHD has been investigating this situation for six weeks. Surely, they know more than they are sharing with the public.
Undoubtedly, the phone lines to the local health department are jammed at this point with the staggering number of people affected. Local news stations may be helpful in digging for these important details and disseminating information in the short term. This is a public health crisis of stunning proportions, and everyone deserves to know details.
Sweetiepiezer, I will keep you in my prayers. Keep digging for answers.
Clinic owner found success Doctor, native of India built medical empire
If this helps, I had Hep A and B vaccinations (Twinrix I think), there were no side effects that I could remember. There is no vaccination against Hep C, I believe.
Here’s what will happen, it’s so predictable. The national TV boys will get hold of this and next week it will be a giant story. The spin will be that this shows we need MORE regulation of the health care industry, and it will be used as an argument FOR national health care by the democrats. Profit being the root of all evil in health care.
gnip...
I had a run in with this doctor years ago.
My son had gone to New Orleans for Mardi Gra and came home deathly ill. He had diarrhea so bad, was sent to this doctor for a colonoscopy. Before the doctor even gave him the test, he diagnosed him with a terrible disease, I could not believe it. Well, he did not have what the doctor told him he had, he had Cryptosporidium, from the water or ice cubes in New Orleans.
The doctor had no beside manner and I thought very haughty.
I remember the discussion on a forum here where a Arab doctor in Chicago was accused of failing to treat a patient in a timely manner in an emergency room in Chicago and the patient died. The patient was Jewish.
Big discussion followed about foreign doctors and their treatment of patients. This is the article.
