Wrong STD results

The machine was flipping the tests results," Paine said. "In other words, if you were a positive, you would have received a negative reading. If you were a negative, you would have received a positive reading."


About 3,000 people are believed to have been tested between Nov. 1, 2000, and May 24, 2002, and about 83 were told they were clean when they actually had one of the diseases. Most of the 83 have been contacted but not all, Paine said.

wow, sucks to be those people

My maths suggests that 2900 people out of 3000 recieved positive results.. which begs the question, the lab never questioned that 96% of people tested in an 18 month period actually had an STD...?!

That must be one of the side benefits of Universal Healthcare Coverage!

Nice to have something to bust on Canada for!

Except for the fact it was a new machine manufactured by Beckton Dickerson in New Jersey. Try to keep up with things.

What is Canada doing using sub-standard equipment, and was it even tested beforehand? I demand an investigation. I want to know how much the government knew and when did they know it.

The instructions were probably in English, and since they did not also possess a french translation, they were probably deemed unacceptable by the Canadian Government and were not issued with the machine.

That was pretty pathetic. I don't know what it is about you that keeps crawling back to get owned again and again, but you're not very sporting. You should have just kept your cum hole shut after I made you look like a feeb _again_ but for some reason you just have to keep bringing attention back to how stupid you are. It's really odd.
