We go to the hospital/doctor to get treated not to be exposed by some doctor-in-Training. A Chicago doctor-in training/resident has tested positive for TB disease. She was working in rotation between 3 Chicago Hospitals and could have exposed hundreds of patients. Some were tested and so far none were infected but there are still more patients including workers who has not been tested yet.
You would think that they test them for any diseases before letting them around patients right? Obviously we are wrong about it! Hopefully they tested all their doctors, nurses and other hospital/clinic worker for HIV or AIDS! All I can say that the 3 hospitals better have their lawyers ready for a possible medical charges, patients go to hospitals/clinic to get better not to get infected!!

This is a frustrating news. The hospital and its personnel are the least sources for our infection. THey must be screened regularly.

It is very frustrating you would think they will test everyone who works in the medical facilities even janitors because they play a very big role in medical centers. It is sad that we can’t even feel safe even in a place where we get medical help.
