Well it wasn’t a reused needle or bad blood. I wonder what it ended up being.
Sounds like a syringe being reused.
450 times?!
Since it’s IV medication given before/during an endoscopy, I’d guess it’s the syringe used to flush the IV line.
Not the same one 450 times, but an employee using the same one for multiple patients in a day, then tossing it instead of using a new one for each.
MY TURN!
unbridled pharmacy rage
It says it was something used to administer the anesthesic, but I don’t know anything about that either.
This is baffling to me because almost all medical equipment is either single use or goes in the autoclave. How did this even go on for as long as it did?

You know that seems very much a possibility. I used to work in toxicology in a hospital setting and did these sorts of work up. And I’ve seen some crazy shit with that. Here I was thinking they were being cheap and trying to reuse a certain type of connection device. But there’s no way that such a single use device would last for the time period stated. On the other hand if an employee was the source of contamination that would make way more sense.
I can’t tell if this is the incompetence or malice
Not the onion
