Patient worries UW Hospital used dirty syringe

Vincent Stepter got a very frightening phone call on Thursday morning.

He says an infectious disease specialist from UW Hospital called to say he needs to get tested for HIV and Hepatitis after a syringe was used on at least one other patient. “I?ve been crying all morning, ever since I heard this,” Stepter told 27 News in an exclusive interview on Thursday.
