"Hey Tony, any complaints about your tires this weekend?"

As a retired RN this boggles my mind. Sloppy, greedy and dangerous beyond belief.

Your correction said:

"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"

For the virus to get into a newly opened single-dose vial, a syrnge that was used on another patient had to be the culprit to introduce the virus into the new vial. Hence, the initial statement reported is also correct.

Remind me to go out of state for my colonoscopy.
