Ted A. Novick, Esq., the partner that handles the medical malpractice cases at Gaines, Gruner, Ponzini & Novick, LLP in White Plains, NY is looking for potential clients who were allegedly exposed to Hepatitis C at Northern Westchester Hospital in Mt. Kisco, NY. Allegedly, 6,000 patients were exposed to Hepatitis C at Northern Westchester Hospital when a surgical technician injected the patients with saline rather than the pain killer Fentanyl because the technician was addicted to the painkiller and used the Fentanyl on herself and than put saline into the same needle and injected the patients. Hepatitis C is a liver disease. It can cause cirrhosis and cancer. It is usually transmitted through contact with the blood of an infected person, primarily through sharing contamintaed needles to inject drugs. Symptoms include decreased appetite, fatigue, stomach pain, jaundice, itching and flu like symptoms. However, most infected people expereince no symptoms and the infection is usually accidentally discovered. The disease can be treated but around 50% of the people can never be cured. Please call Mr. Novick @ 914-288-9595 to discuss your questions and concerns. For access to Mr. Novick during the evening call his cell phone @ 914-629-5291.
