Doctor in Germany HIV scandal
Oct. 24 - German authorities say a doctor accused of re-using unsterilised needles may have infected hundreds.
Investigators say the 56-year-old doctor in Bad Saulgau used contaminated needles many times over on different patients and more than 2, 000 may have been infected with the HIV or hepatitis virus. Paul Chapman reports.
SOUNDBITES:
"About five or six years ago I started going to her practice after an acute hearing loss. Over time I was told she would carry out more treatments like injections of my own blood. I trusted her."
"According to the charge the syringes were inadequately cleaned. For example, some were cleaned only with washing-up liquid and similar products. Sometimes they weren't cleaned at all."
