A South Jersey hospital has notified 213 patients of possible exposure to HIV or hepatitis B or C due to a former employee’s alleged drug tampering.
The Atlantic City Prosecutor’s Office has arrested Frederick P. McLeish, 53, for allegedly replacing morphine with saline solution in vials between July 1 and Sept. 27, 2014, at Shore Medical Center in Somers Point, an act that could have caused patients to come into contact with an employee’s blood, the Press of Atlantic City has stated.
