A lot of you may not have heard this. My cousin is confirmed Hepatitus C infected. :mad:
"The city of Las Vegas is still trying to find about 40,000 patients who visited the Endoscopy Center of Southern Nevada from March 2004 until this January and may have contracted hepatitis C."
Las Vegas Clinic May Be Tip of The Iceberg (http://www.injuryboard.com/national-news/las-vegas-clinic-may-be-tip-of-the-iceberg.aspx?googleid=29898)
In this day and age, when they even issue free needles to drug users, to lower the chance of transmited desease, a surgical clinic is trying to cut cost by reusing needles. :mg: And doing it for 2.5 years to 40,000 patients?
From what I read, these clinics are audited once every 6 years, well that is the case at least in Nevada.
The 9-11 attack killed about 4000 americans, this clinic owner may be responsible for 40,000 families. I don't know what to think.
