It was only a couple years ago

that a dentist from Tulsa infected some of his patients.

More than 7,000 patients from Harrington's Tulsa and Owasso clinics were sent letters in late March outlining the risk of infection and steps to obtain free blood testing. Of 3,122 patients tested by county health departments so far, 57 tested positive for hepatitis C, three tested positive for hepatitis B, and at least one tested positive for HIV.

As a retired nurse reading today how many women had tried to self-abort in TX, I would just like to add that if this trend continues the USA will have an epidemic to rival Africa.
