Health officials said Wednesday evening they don't believe the hepatitis C cases are the result of colonoscopies or gastroenterology procedures performed at the center, though the state licensing board referenced in its report problems arising from these procedures that could spread infection.
Lets put this more into perspective.
They had a outbreak of hep C. One of the things you epidemiology wise is look for common links. This was one of those links. They investigate and find some procedures are not up to code with universal precautions, and it blows up as a story far greater than it should be.
The picture TFPers are giving here is some sort of gross negligence, when it is most likely far less serious, malicious, or stupid than that.
Now I'm not giving these people a pass either, but one news story alone shouldn't create an outrage without more facts on what exactly was done, how it was done, how long it was done for, and who was responsible are unknown.
