Oh shizz.

700+ patients at the Buffalo Veterans Administration Center may have been exposed to HIV, hepatitis B or hepatitis C because of accidental reuse of insulin pens. HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN?

Of course, the hospital is trying to downplay this egregious lapse in judgment by saying

Wow! We can't imagine what kind of uproar this caused at PTA meetings.

In Philadelphia, almost a third of their high schools are getting free condom dispensers installed!!

Before you start questioning why they'd do that… five percent of the city's high school students tested positive for STDs!!
