LAS VEGAS, Nevada (AP) -- A clinic may have infected a handful of patients with hepatitis C -- but about 40,000 more should be tested for that virus, as well as for HIV, health officials said Wednesday.
Six people who underwent procedures at the Endoscopy Center of Southern Nevada now have the blood-borne hepatitis C virus, the Southern Nevada Health District said in a statement.
Five of them were treated the same day in late September; the sixth is believed to have been infected in July, the district said.
An investigation determined that "unsafe injection practices related to the administration of anesthesia medication might have exposed patients to the blood of other patients," the statement said.

The people who did this should be made an example of. Strip them of thier medical licenses and livelyhoods. Then make them open for every lawsuit that comes down the pike.
