Doctor Alleges Dirty Instruments at Columbia Hospital
Last fall, 12 News revealed that cuts to Columbia Hospital’s Infection Control Program may have resulted in dirty surgical instruments and an increase in staph infections. Thursday, a surgeon-turned-whistleblower spoke out for the first time. The allegations date back to 2008, when Dr. James Stoll alleged that budget cuts were resulting in an increase of bacterial infections in the old Columbia Hospital. (WISN.com, 6/8)
