FYI - About 500 patients exposed to Hep C

Another error.

"The failure to adequately clean medical instruments has left hundreds in Victoria, BC possibly exposed to Hepatitis B, C and HIV."

This article states "none of the diseases from these viruses is curable and once infected, leaves the person with a chronic life threatening condition."

I watched a video clip on this from CNN and they said "mistakes do happen."
