HIV and hepatitis Testing Begins for Patients
He was also letting unlicensed people administer IV drugs, didn't keep tools used on patients with HIV and other illnesses separate from those used for healthy patients. Ugh.
quote:
Patients who were treated by suburban Tulsa dentist W. Scott Harrington will begin getting tested Saturday for HIV and hepatitis after an investigation found unsanitary conditions at his office.
quote:
A complaint filed before the state dental board described violations, including "multiple sterilization issues, multiple cross-contamination issues, (and) the drug cabinet was unlocked and unattended."
There were no logs of inventory for the drug cabinet, the complaint states. One drug found in the cabinet had expired in 1993. Other records showed that morphine had been used in patients throughout 2012, even though the dentist had not received a morphine delivery since 2009. The complaint also says that Harrington's dental assistants did not have permits.

What bothers me most is how this could go on for that long.

I remember here recently there was a dentist office that was found to be recycling mouth wash and water.

This is the 2nd thing I read about this guy. The other article interviewed one of the health dept people who searched the place. They were just sick at their stomach at the stuff they saw. Noting was sterilized, there were tissue samples and stuff that hadn't been disposed of. They said the exam rooms looked clean - until you looked in the cabinets. They are seriously asking 7,000 people to come in and get screened for HIV and Hepatitis strains. This is so nasty.

Makes you not want to trust any dentist. Who knows what they might have.

There are some sick dentists and doctors out there.
One from Chattanooga area used maxi pads and stuff for like that for plastic surgery. It was horrendous. He committed suicide before the charges could come against him.

What is wrong with people? Being that unsanitary just to make an extra buck?

Kinda ridiculous. It was a big scandal.
His daughter actually went to Bama and won the national championship in Women's Golf with the team and was individual runner up.

I don't think doctors and dentists offices can be too clean or sterile. I will say though, my oldest nephew (more like little brother) is a doctor and he believes everyone using anti-bacterial soaps and other products at home is linked to the increase of infections that are resistant to antibiotics. We use those products and kill off a lot of bacteria that naturally fight things like strep or staph. So, we're more vulnerable to those serious infections. Makes sense.

I know a lot of people who don't use antibacterial soap on their young kids. Build up their immunity.
