Briefly

Toronto health officials are warning approximately 2,500 patients that they might have been exposed to blood-borne infections, including hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV, after improper cleaning practices at Dr. Esther Park's gynecology clinic between October 2020 and 2024. The patients underwent various procedures, raising concerns about possible virus transmission. Although the risk is considered low, the health agency advises those affected to seek testing. Patients shared their shock and distress, with some calling for disciplinary action against the gynecologist for her actions. The clinic did not provide any response to the situation.
I was enraged, I think I spent most of the day in shock and I felt quite ill by the end of the day.
