Patient of Dentist who might be responsible for spread of HIV and hepatitis on CNN....

Absolutely amazing how this guy spends the first 45 seconds telling how nice the office,staff and Dr.
were.. Wasn’t even going to express the horror of his situation until prompted by interviewer. WTF!!

I also wonder if anyone of the poor souls effected by this disaster realize that govt. does have a role in these type of situations. It might be interesting to know if any health inspectors in the area were furloughed because of various state cut backs...

From CNN:

If there are no health inspectors, the dentists and doctors and everyone else will play fast and lose. There has never been self-regulation that worked in the entirety of human history. The market consistently fails to produce it. There is no more radical social experimentation that playing with the hypothesis (and that's all it is) that market forces will produce safe products. It has been disproven and disproven and disproven in all of human history. But the radical social experimentationists continue to tell us that the market will produce this magical result. They're either charlatans or idiots.
