Does
everybody wonder why sterilization is a must? Why we should do it? Why don’t we
neglect it for one day? Why do extra work rather than treating a patient? One
latest horrific real incidence comes to the surface when one local newspaper
published this report on 20 may 2019 that 563 patients may have a risk of HIV.
Patient at the Dentality Hoddesdon practice in Hertfordshire received letters
telling that a hygienist had failed to sterilize dental equipment .All this
happens when a patient of Dentality Hoddesdon practice received a letter to get
HIV to test after 3 months of their appointment. The practice is run by
Dr.Vishaal shah, said that they are very careful with patient care and have
always put patient first and as soon as we became aware of behaviour from a
hygienist that did not meet the rightful standards we expect from our entire
team, we launched a full investigation and escalated the matter to all key
authorities. All this happened because of negligence in the sterilization of
ultrasonic scaler. It was being treated twice a day when it should have been
sterilized after each use. This error was noticed by other staff and reported
it and then the hygienist has been dismissed by the practice.
A
statement issued by health official said there is a risk of 563 patient of
blood infection.Dr.Jorg Hoffman of public health England east said “the risk of
contracting hepatitis b, hepatitis c, or HIV is extremely low and testing is
being offered as a precautionary measure.
This
news shows how negligence can badly affect the lives of innocent people. One
question from this report arises that how our health officials work and it took
them three months to warn everyone is shameful and most importantly how many
more people could have been infected in that time?
