Pharmacist who admitted reusing syringe barrels in 'error in judgment' sues former employer
Throw them in jail...the one who reused needles, not the employer. Even if it's just the container part of the needle. Anyone stupid enough to think reusing ANYTHING medical without proper sterilization has no business going near humans in a medical sense. Heck even the food industry should have this person banned
Did you read it? The barrel was reused, not the needle. The plastic part where the medicine goes before being injected.
The comment is 3 sentences and you didn't even read it
The person you replied to also stated disgust with the idea of the 'container' being reused too.
They draw blood into that resevoire to mix with the vaccine before it pumps into you. 🤮
This isn't an, "error in judgement", it's professional misconduct. He knew that they were single use and knowing that they were single use he decided that he knew better and reused them. He wasn't fired because he reused syringes, he's being fired because he doesn't follow the most basic rules of his professional. He's lost the trust of his employer.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A former New Wetminster pharmacy manager who admitted reusing syringe barrels while immunizing people against COVID-19 is suing his former employer for wrongful dismissal and breach of contract.
Bhanu Prasad Seelaboyina filed a lawsuit against multiple companies he worked for, all of which share an address with Kent Guardian Pharmacy in New Westminster.
It claims he made an "error in judgment" in August 2021 when he reused syringe barrels — the plastic tube that holds the vaccine solution, not the needle — on some patients at Kent Guardian.
Seelaboyina, when contacted at a pharmacy where he now works as a contractor, referred CBC News to his lawyer, who declined to comment "as this matter is in litigation."
The lawsuit admits Seelaboyina reused the syringe barrels while administering COVID-19 shots "under the belief that he was engaging in safe practice that would not pose a health risk to patients."
He entered into a consent agreement with the college, the terms of which which included a year-long license suspension, a further 180-day ban on administering drugs by injection or nasally and the requirement to take a number of remedial courses.
