New York Expands Outreach To Inform Anesthesiologist's Patients

In conjunction with the State of New York's ongoing investigation into the practices of anesthesiologist Dr. Harvey Finkelstein, Health Commissioner Richard F. Daines on Nov. 20, 2007, issued a call for all those inoculated by the doctor prior to Jan. 15, 2005, to be tested for hepatitis C, hepatitis B and HIV. Dr. Finkelstein, who practiced out of the Pain Clinic of Long Island and the Island Orthopedic Sports Medicine Center, used unsanitary syringe practices prior to January 2005, but changed his methods after that date. In mid-November 2007, more than 600 informational letters were sent out by the New York State Department of Health Department to Dr. Finkelstein's former patients. Critics charge this notice was too little, too late, as it came nearly three years after State investigators discovered Dr. Finkelstein's faulty practices. The Health Commissioner's Nov. 20, 2007 announcement was prompted by Health Department concerns that more than the 600-plus patients originally notified could possibly have been affected by Dr. Finkelstein's practices.
