Did anyone see the article in yesterday's Daily Sun? The heading: "Veteran gets $1.25M from US after surgery led to infection"
Search: "VA infection issues lead to 13,000 veterans' tests - msnbc"
As many as 13,000 patients may have been exposed to hepititis, HIV, and other diseases because of poor hygiene. The colonoscopy equipment had not been properly cleaned (i.e., not sterilized).
And this went on for several years; it was not just a one-time mistake.
