Hep C Serial Infector

[ChristianCoffee]

And yet again, another scary aspect of visiting your hospital. I work at a major hospital here in the Mid West, but I also worked at this one before I moved to Michigan years ago. This is so very scary and sad:

What can be done about it? I have no answers....

Hi CC,

I watched a movie the other night...Not a Christian movie in any way, but this reminded me of it. It was called Puncture, and had to do with the need to use non-reusable syringes for the health and safety of everyone. A man invented the non reusable syringe due to the spread of infectious diseases. And here I thought thats what most hospitals used today!

Hep C ain't a pretty thing. I remember video taping doctor conferences a decade or so ago and I heard one doctor say if he ever contracted Hep C or was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, he would commit suicide.

THAT was a wake up call for me.

Looks like his motive was drug abuse, using Fentanyl. He refilled the syringes to look like nothing was missing. If he knew he would infect people, he obviously didn't care.
