A doctor with hepatitis B who performed joint replacement surgeries unknowingly passed the virus on to at least two of his patients, according to a new report.
The report, issued by researchers at the University of Virginia Health System, said the surgeon first became aware that he had hepatitis B after he stuck himself with a needle, and underwent routine testing for blood-borne diseases. The surgeon had emigrated from a country that had a high prevalence of hepatitis B, and likely had had chronic hepatitis B for some time without showing symptoms, such as fever and nausea.

Sounds like the Doc had some non hygienic practices.

How did he not receive a hepatitis B vaccination and avoid testing to confirm that he was immune? That's been recommended as standard practice for surgeons and pathologists since the 1980s.

If I get sick after Obammycare starts...I’m not going to any hospital. I’ll take my chances with aspirin and chicken soup.
No way will I stay around or be looked at by some Obamabot doctor or nurse.
