You've heard it said that "truth is stranger than fiction." It would be safe to say that this medical malpractice situation is one of those incidences . Long Island physician, Dr. Harvey Finklestein, may have exposed hundreds to Hepatitis C, Hepatitis B and HIV according to the Nassau County Health Department.

When Finkelstein's was investigated, what was observed is alarming. " The investigators' report states that they observed Finkelstein reusing the same syringes. Upon observation, he was immediately told to stop reusing syringes.

A study was done of 98 of his patients who had received spinal injections, out of 94 tested, seven tested positive for Hepatitis C. And just this week, 628 letters went out to patients of Finkelstein to advise them that they are at risk for HIV, Hepatitis C and Hepatitis B. In case that is not bad enough, several patients have told Nassau health officials that Finkelstein told them they were not at risk and that there is no need to be tested!!!!
