CORRECTION: Earlier this blog said “Health officials say that practitioners were routinely using the same syringe on more than one patient, which is widely known to pass on infection.” Actually, the same syringe was not being used on multiple patients. But single dose vials of medication, which had become infected through their initial use, were being used again. Health officials say this is widely known to pass infection.

Aren't they supposed to take an alcohol prep thing and clean the top of the little bottle (before they put a new syringe into it).

I do this each morning before I inject myself with my diabetes meds.

Good Lord.

They should fire all these people.
