Title
A Never Event: Exposing the Largest Outbreak of Hepatitis C in American Healthcare History - Paperback
by Travis T. Bennington (Author), Evelyn V. McKnight (Author)
CANCER CLINIC CAUSES WORST HEPATITIS OUTBREAK IN US HISTORY
In the small farming community of Fremont, Nebraska, townspeople eagerly welcomed an acclaimed doctor as the first full-time oncologist at their new cancer treatment center-but the fanfare soon turned into a nightmare.During chemotherapy treatments, 857 patients who were already waging the fights of their lives against cancer, were inexplicably exposed to the deadly, blood-borne hepatitis C virus. At least ninety-nine of them contracted the lethal illness. The horror was unprecedented-this was the largest healthcare-transmitted outbreak of hepatitis C in American history.
A Never Event-a term used to describe a preventable medical tragedy-is a searing story of recklessness, deception and betrayal. It's part mystery, part courtroom drama.
Written by a survivor of the tragedy and an attorney who represented many of the victims, A Never Event is a wake-up call to medical and legal communities nationwide.
"[A] harrowing account... I commend [McKnight's] advocacy and efforts to raise awareness about healthcare-related infections and other potentially life-threatening illnesses."-Hon. Shelley Berkley, congresswoman, Nevada
"The wake-up call to doctors, nurses and to patients."-Joe Hardy, MD, Nevada State Assembly
"A 'must-read' for patients." -Charles Stokes, president and CEO, CDC Foundation
"[McKnight's] story has provided hope to people across the nation."-Lawrence Sands, DO, MPH
