Last cpl of years I've become intimately familiar with the lack of overall competence of the medical support staff here in Southern Cal.

We have great doctors, clinics, and research institutes, but I have to say if our collective well being is in any way dependent on the people who run the desks, fill out the paperwork, or run samples to the labs we're all in big trouble.

Hopefully it's mostly a west coast thing.

(We were just going to fall into the ocean someday anyway)

I heard this story on NPR this evening. Mistakes like this shake the confidence in the system and open the door for all kinds of meaningless speculation. Let's hope it is a one off and the people involved get their s**t together.

Let's hope the CDC starts shipping in support staff from somewhere where people don't have 6 ft high pot plants growing in their backyards.

Dude, I swear that's the phlebotomist that went right through my vein, into the tendon, and then stood there scratching their head as blood shot everywhere except into the tube.

Errors happen.
Minimization, finding, & correction are what matters.

Along with trying to figure out who the infected person came into contact with and why this happened in the first place.
