Ep 70: The Outbreak

In January 2008, a Hepatitis C outbreak was discovered in Las Vegas, Nevada. After investigating the outbreak, officials were able to determine that the infected patients all had one thing in common - they had all undergone procedures at the Endoscopy Center of Southern Nevada.   After one of the infected patients passed away, a physician and nurse anesthetist from the Center were charged with second degree murder.    Sponsors in this episode: PROcure - PROcure's Hydrocortisone Cream with Calendula is fast-acting, healing itchy, irritated skin with maximum strength 1% cortisone.
