Pearls of Wisdom

Doug Winfrey and Dr. Wallach discuss a news article regarding colonoscopies. The story outlines one patient who was infected with E. coli during a colonoscopy and almost died. Recent studies have found that 71% of reusable medical scopes deemed ready for use on patients tested positive for bacteria at three major U.S. hospitals. Previously it was thought the infection rate was one out of every million procedures. It's now known that the infection rate is actually 1 in 1000.
