Wisconsin patients possibly exposed to blood-borne diseases
- 2,345 patients were possibly exposed to HIV source
» One Wisconsin nurse didn’t alternate between insulin pens when giving diabetes test demonstrations. She changed needles, but not the insulin pen; as a result, blood could have remained on the pen between patients. Now a clinic’s trying to clean up a scary mess caused by a nurse who didn’t know proper procedure. Yikes.
This is over the course of 5 years. YEARS.
Good god.
