That was in the same building as the clinic I went to. Would have been less scary if they had said right away which clinic it was. They first released something like "patients who went to some clinic in Ottawa may have been infected..." They got the whole city panicking for a couple of days before they released the details. |

The chance of contracting HIV or Hep C from a dirty endoscope is no more "very real" than the aforementioned chance of contracting hanta.
Then there was all that C.Dif and MRSA when I was on the third floor of St. Cats General this past September. Stool inspections every time you take a shit are a wonderful thing. 
The very real point here is that it doesn't matter where you go for a medical procedure, be it a hospital or a clinic, if there are issues with the sanitary conditions you could get sick. Or not. |
