Thirty three year-old, David Kwiatkowski, a former hospital worker has been charged with "fraud and product-tampering" with connection to the recent outbreak of Hepatitis C in New Hampshire, which has sickened over 30 people. Before he was hired at New Hampshire's Exeter Hospital in April of 2011, he was fired from another hospital in Arizona for being found in a bathroom passed out with a syringe in the toilet, ten months later he was diagnosed with Hepatitis C and began working in New Hampshire. Sources say David stole syringes that were painkillers for patients who went through surgery and use them for himself, which in result would infect the syringes with his blood and be used on the patients later on.

How could he be stupid enough to do this? You think he would be aware how Hepatitis C is spread. Why would he even take the chance when he could have gone in and had someone else proffesional do it for him and not risk this.
ReplyDeleteAny hospital that would hire this guy, after he had had drug problems is obviously desperate for employees. This guy needs rehab, and he needs to be punished, i would blame the hospital for hiring him in first place.
ReplyDeleteThat is disgusting. Whatever happened to background checks ... I mean if this new hospital that hired him checked wouldn't they have been suspicious as to why he got fired from another hospital?!
