Exposure to Hepatitis C
"Mayo [Clinic in Jacksonville, Fla.,] tells more than 3,000 patients of possible Hepatitis C infection...
"Mayo fired the former employee... for stealing pain medication intended for patients and putting them at risk. [Were they sharing needles?]
"The hospital system will offer three free-of-charge testing options for the at-risk patients. [This is nice of them. Yes.]
"Mayo also will ask those patients to take HIV and Hepatitis B tests as protocol, even though Beumel has tested negative for the two viruses. [Does this reduce the medical center's legal liability in some way?]
"...According to the CEO, there have been five cases where patients arrived at Mayo Clinic not having hepatitis C, but were infected with it when they left, notes First Coast News. Three of those cases have been linked to Beumel." [Ouch.]
