Hepatitis Lawsuit Settled

ADVERTISEMENTS

From Newsday.com: "Doctor tied to hepatitis cases settles lawsuit," by Michael Amon--

Dr. Harvey Finkelstein, the Dix Hills physician who the state Department of Health says put thousands of patients at risk by reusing syringes, has settled a medical malpractice lawsuit with a Syosset man who claimed he got hepatitis C in the doctor's office. The financial settlement marks the first resolution of several lawsuits filed after a Department of Health investigation found that Peter Mattmuller, 66, had been infected in Finkelstein's office.

The lawsuit contended that the infection occurred because Finkelstein used a syringe multiple times on the patient seen before Mattmuller, contaminating multidose medicine vials that were then the source of injections for Mattmuller.
