[KatyPrismSpirit]

[Delusional]

How does this even… this is a major system fail where absolutely none of the cogs have been turning correctly… how awful!

In case you catch HIV and Hepatitis? I doubt the chances of that are particularly high just going about your daily business 

[glitch]

Kinda crazy that this would happen in the modern day. You'd think hospitals would be super hot on stuff like this after the factor VIII incident in the 80s. I don't understand how IV drips could even transmit these diseases unless they're reusing needles/not actually cleaning the drips

I've heard crazy stuff while working in a hospital, so this doesnt surprise me

every medical specialist is different, but I've seen some not even washing their hands...

"Per NBC News, the hospital informed hundreds of patients who underwent endoscopy could have been exposed due to improper administration IV medications. Salem Hospital learned of the possible exposures, which happened over a two-year period, earlier this year and immediately corrected the procedures."

 

This happened over a two-year period  Their safety precautions lighter than Lana del Rey's laptop security.

Not them failing during two years straight, I thought this was a 'minor' accident or something

OMGGGGGG

But like how though??? HIV isn’t air borne. Did they not clean the injections? which is impossible. Or do blood transfusions with HIV infected blood? HIV isn’t easily passed on thpugh.

HIV and Hep B are blood borne and not airborne, unless you are exposed to blood products or someone’s bodily fluids (and you yourself have some open wound or other way for the virus to enter your bloodstream) you have no chance of catching it just being in public.

And that happened over a two years period 

[réveuse]

Horrific.

[ScorpiosGroove]

scary how many adults, gays shockingly included, still think HIV is something you just randomly catch on a train or in a public bathroom 

[Saddy]

Holy **** 

[The7thStranger]

NOT surprised tbh. Salem Hospital has a bad reputation to anybody who has lived in that area. My family lives about twenty minutes away.

To think Hospitals should have high standard controls to avoid these kind of situations, truly awful.
