More than 6,000 patients at a Veterans Administration (VA) clinic in Tennessee may have been exposed to the infectious body fluids of other patients when they had colon-oscopies in recent years. As a result, VA medical facilities all over the United States are reviewing their own procedures.
A spokesman at the Alvin C. York VA Medical Center in Murfreesboro, Tenn., said the clinic is offering free blood tests and medical care to all patients whose records show they had colonoscopies between April 23, 2003, and Dec. 1, 2008.
VA officials also uncovered a problem with equipment at an ear, nose and throat clinic at Georgia’s Charlie Norwood VA Medical Center in Augusta, and 1,800 veterans have been notified they may have been exposed to an “extremely small” risk of infection there.
Soldiers can return home with a number of conditions, injuries, and aggravated preexisting conditions. If you believe you have a service-connected physical or psychological injury you may be entitled to Veterans’ Disability Compensation.
