According to a report from the Miami Herald, colonoscopies performed in Chattanooga, Tenn. may have resulted in the patients being exposed to HIV.

The patients are currently awaiting a response from the VA to see if they will be receiving compensation for their damages in this medical malpractice situation.

Unfortunately, the responsible parties are not offering to pay out the damages they

caused in this lawsuit, though this is a clear example of medical malpractice in action. The lawsuit has resulted in congressional hearings and new patient safety standards from the VA, but the organization claims there is no way to trace the evidence back to the VA.

The victims exposed to HIV are represented by a personal injury attorney in the case.
