There should be a new law!

Report on ABC news: In Part:


By SYDNEY LUPKIN
July 28, 2012

The New Hampshire hospital lab technician indicted last week for infecting 31 people with Hepatitis C might have infected "tens of thousands" of patients in at least 13 hospitals, ABC News has learned.

David Kwiatkowski, a former lab technician at Exeter Hospital in New Hampshire, had allegedly been stealing the Fentanyl syringes intended for patients, injecting his own arm and then refilling those empty syringes with another liquid-like saline, according to a statement from the United States Attorney's Office in New Hampshire.

Since Kwiatkowski tested positive for Hepatitis C in June 2010, he passed it on to the hospital patients who were injected with his used, saline-filled syringes, according to the affidavit.

"If he knew that he was infected and he put those needles back on the shelf, that is the definition of evil," Dr. Richard Besser, ABC News' Chief Health and Medical Editor, told Good Morning America. "Anyone who was in those hospitals when he was working there is potentially at risk. We're talking tens of thousands of people."

Kwiatskowski, 32, was a temporary employee at Exeter Hospital who has worked in at least eight hospitals in 13 states, Besser said.


Let's see now.....what should we ban here, Hepatitus C, syringes, nursing techs? Gotta ban something, right?. Need to pass another law and this too would stop! Right? Can't enforce the laws we have now......but we need more, right?

Too many of us are barking up the wrong tree, as usual! Obviously, we need to spend our energy, and brain power, on determining what motivates these people and work to identify why they do what they do! It's NOT about the weapon! This clown doesn't even own a gun, yet his death count hasn't even been counted yet, and it could easily out number M. Holmes!

This is an attack with a deadly weapon, nothing less, and it should be prosecuted as if it were.

But guns are loud and they scare the stupid people and stupid people need government protection. I bet he fired a gun once... that counts..... Luckily the stupidity on this board in regard to gun control is not reflected in the general population. Background checks for guns rose 43% in Colorado after the shootings.

If we ban lab techs and needles we can solve this problem.

In all seriousness it looks like he could have infected over 1,000 people with Hep C. They will end up testing close to 2,000 people. The number of people who's life will be cut short because of his actions will could be in the hundreds. After they give him life in prisons and the first person dies from Hep C related illness they should place him on trial for murder and seek the death penalty (lethal injection preferably). Personally I think attempted murder should carry the same punishment as murder. You should not get off light because you're a failure. We have some really sick people in this world.

The scary part is that some where there is a politician who want to get elected who will promise to protect the stupid people with pieces of paper with laws and regulations written on them.

Obviously he needs the book thrown at him and then some...

But... Interesting how someone can be working in a hospital and have to steal *hepatitis* medicine for himself?

How about universal health care?

Oh person of little wisdom.......if he fessed he couldn't work in hospitals no more! He would take a severe cut in pay, get off drugs and have to work more! Hepatitus C usually hinders nursing other people until properly medicated. People within a capitalistic health care system know that.

Now in a socialist government run health care problem they would merely inject everyone with Hep.C, so they could all share.....know what I mean.

He was stealing Fentanyl which is a highly addictive synthetic pain killer. He was a drug addict which is probably how he got Hep-C in the first place, but nice try on the attempt to make this look like a universal healthcare argument. Already trying to turn him into the victim.

Not really, if you read what *I* said, ...it just sounded like he was stealing medicine for himself in the first place, not that that makes him a 'victim' when he put the things back to infect people.


Still not exactly the picture of a healthy health care system when someone's got a problem that involves switching dirty needles into the pharmacy cabinet....

It's ridiculous to infer the root cause is our health care system. Only a contrived " fool" would take my comment seriously. But then contrivance and assumptions are your stock and trade. Makes for tittlating forum chatter.............

I understood your meaning. It doesn't change my opinion that you are behaving like a jackass.

It has no reflection on the system at all. This is the actions of a lone drug addict who abused his responsibility. Even if he was a sick person stealing medication, the ends don't justify the means in a civil world. There is no defense for what he did, and nobody to blame but him.

So you're telling me that there's at least one person on this forum that's not a worshiper of the left? Weird, I was starting to think I might be the only one.
