Irresponsibility and the Surgical Tech

Last night, I was notified that a surgical tech who was in the OR when I had to have emergency surgery last November is under investigation for taking needles and using them for himself.

However, I'm not clear on what exactly this guy did; did he use the meds in the needles and then replace the meds with saline? Did he take the used needles for himself? I don't know.

What I do know is that I now have to go have a blood draw so I can be tested to determine if I have HIV, Hep B and/or C from this asshole.

I cannot believe someone can endanger so many people and not give a shit. If someone hadn't caught him, he'd still be at it. I get that addiction is terrible, but after all I've been through--all others have been through medically--now I have this worry as well? It's not enough to have had cancer, chemo, and now radiation. Now I have to worry that I'll have a lifelong, potentially terminal, illness.

I am angry, as I'm sure the 2899 other people affected by this irresponsibility are too. WTF is wrong with people?
