They chose to employ the surgeon with the highest malpractice rate in the country., then disciplined any colleague who spoke up about him. My dad is dead now because of this man.

I’m so sorry, Exeter Hospital killed my mother, they also employ people they don’t bother background checking. One of their employees gave like 100 people hepatitis because he was shooting up their drugs and then shooting them up with saline.

That was a travel nurse who did that. Hospitals doesn’t do background checks for travelers, it’s the agencies that hire them that do. Also, background checks don’t help if you’ve never been caught

He had been caught and fired from multiple hospitals for a drug diversion. I’m not sure how much traveling he was doing he was at Exeter for a while.

He was a traveler. The previous hospitals where he worked did not report his behavior. They had no way of knowing. Hate to break it to you but if someone is intent on doing harm they figure out how to do it. Regardless of what safeguards we put in place

He wasn’t a radiology tech. I have close intimate knowledge. This article is full of non truths. But what is the point of the article? It doesn’t in any way say they the hospital could have known. His history wasn’t reported. Not sure what else there is to say.

I remember that Hepatitis male nurse… we had an issue with Exeter ER and my daughter. They are not set up to treat pediatric emergencies. I’m so sorry for your loss

They do background checks. Background checks don’t help if previous employers don’t report behavior problems.
