Harried by Hep-C in Hospitals

The story of  a medical technician charged with infecting at least thirty people at Exeter Hospital has turned into a national concern, with news he’d worked in a half-dozen other states, where hospitals are now checking their records and contacting patients.  We’ll get an update and look at what we’ve learned from this crisis so far.

  • Holly Ramer - Reporter for the Associated Press of New Hampshire

We'll also hear from...

  • Rep. Lee Quandt - Republican State Representative from Exeter
