I am a 26 yrs old software professional and still I rely on word-of-mouth for certain things one among those is definitely health care. I have heard many scary things about doctors or nurses being negligent but none as bad as this scandal. A part of me still refuses to believe that a doctor so popular and experienced would do something as terrible as re-use syringes just to save a few pennies. My father and my elder sister are doctors and I have always considered their profession as being very close to Godliness, they are life givers to most.

There should surely be some place people should be able to go to check about the doctor or hospital they wish to visit. Be it a routine check up or an operation, people have the right to know what they are subjected to. I would definitely ask many questions but would probably always wonder if I am asking too many questions and would end up frustrating the doctor or nurse. As understanding as anyone can be it would surely not be fun to answer questions like "Have you or your hospital ever been sued by anyone for anything at all?" Also I would wonder if they are telling me nothing but the truth.

Trust is a weird thing, once lost restoring it would be a colossal task. Only hoping whoever went to those six hospitals during those times are safe and praying for their families and loved ones, I still hope that there is something not right about the whole allegation and that a doctor could not have stooped as low as risking tens of thousands of peoples lives just save a few nickels.
