Sam, a 42-year-old man, was booked for an endoscopy at a local clinic. Prior to the procedure he was injected with sedatives, but after several minutes the nurse noticed Sam seemed uncomfortable and required additional sedation. She used the same syringe, dipped it in the open sedative vial and re-injected him. The procedure continued as normal. Several months later, Sam, suffering from swelling of the liver, stomach pain, fatigue and jaundice, was diagnosed with Hepatitis C. The Centers for Disease Control was contacted, as 84 other cases of liver disease were linked to the clinic. It was believed that the sedative vial may have been contaminated from the backflow into the syringe and that the virus may have been passed on from the contaminated vial. Several health-care workers commented that reusing the syringe on the same patient (and thus dipping a used syringe into a common vial) was common practice.
