The New Jersey Department of Health says more than 3,000 patients at a surgery center may have been exposed to HIV, hepatitis B and hepatitis C.

Officials say patients who had procedures done at the HealthPlus Surgery Center in Saddle Brook between January 2018 and Sept. 7, 2018 may have been exposed.

Surgery center administrator Betty McCabe says the exposure was due to "deficiencies in infection control" involving the cleaning of instruments and injection of medications. McCabe says 3,778 patients are being urged to get their blood tested.

Well isn’t that nice.

They’ll be paying a lot more when people join together for a class action lawsuit for emotional distress while waiting for results.
And God forbid some of those people test positive.

They won't get near what they deserve since there was a cap put on medical malpractice lawsuits.
