NY Jew "doctor" Harvey Finkelstein Infects 1000's With Dirty Needles
Dr. Lippschitz
The physician whose reuse of syringes caused the infection of two patients
with hepatitis C has been identified as Dr. Harvey Finkelstein of Dix Hills,
according to Nassau officials and an internal investigation by the state
Department of Health.
Finkelstein, 52, an anesthesiologist since 1981, practices at Pain Care of
Long Island, a pain management clinic in Plainview, according to his Web
site. He has admitting privileges at the New Island Hospital in Bethpage,
North Shore University Hospital in Plainview and Long Island Surgicenter in
Melville, according to the Web site.
State health investigators indentified an initial group of patients
administered injections by Finkelstein in May 2005. Those people were sent
letters then and advised to be tested for hepatitis C, hepatitis B and HIV.
The health department expanded its probe to include all patients injected by
Finkelstein between Jan. 1, 2000 and Jan. 15, 2005. That larger group were
sent letters this week advising they be tested, the state health department
said tonight.

Nassau County Executive Thomas Suozzi Nassau Wednesday said the time lag
occurred because the state had to negotiate with the Finkelstein's attorney
to secure relesase of the names.
Said Suozzi: "The idea that the doctor would lawyer up and protect himself
and not put out this information immediately ... is completetly
unacceptable."
A staff member at Finkelstein's office in Plainview said the office would
not comment, but that it would issue a statement later Wednesday afternoon.
A Suffolk man, whose wife received a letter telling her she may have been
exposed to infection, said he was very angry.
"This is a terrible thing," he said. "I don't know why they are protecting
the doctor or clinic. What are we doing here? These are not ingrown toenails
we are talking about. This is ridiculous. We should identify the doctor so
that fears can be put to rest."
A statement released by the state health department, and attributed to state
Health Commissioner Richard F. Daines, M.D. said, in a part: "Only those
patients who received a letter need to be tested. If patients did NOT
receive a letter, they are NOT at risk."
About 630 of Finkelstein's patients received letters from the state
Department of Health this week saying they are at risk for hepatitis B and C
and HIV because Finkelstein reused syringes. The letter urges patients who
received pain relief injections from Finkelstein between January 1, 2000 and
Jan. 15, 2005, to get tested.
Nassau health officials began investigating Finkelstein in late 2004 after
one of his patients was diagnosed with hepatitis C, a potentially fatal
liver disease. Another hepatitis patient soon surfaced and the state health
department linked both cases to Finkelstein's clinic, officials said.
Nassau Health Commissioner Dr. Abby Greenberg said state health officials
knew about the linked cases for about a year and a half but did not notify
Finkelstein's other patients until this week. A state health department
spokeswoman said notification could not be made until a complete
investigation was done.
Office of Professional Medical Conduct, the state's disciplinary board for
doctors, closed a case against Finkelstein in September without finding any
violations. He has changed his injection practices, health officials said,
and has agreed to be monitored until 2010.
State and local health officials said they could not officially name
Finkelstein as the doctor for legal reasons because he was cleared by the
disciplinary board.
A statement released by the state health department, and attributed to state
Health Commissioner Richard F. Daines, M.D. said, in aprt: "While chance of
transmission is low, it is important that every patient be made aware of
facts that might affect their health so that they can act appropriately.
Only those patients who received a letter need to be tested. If patients did
NOT receive a letter, they are NOT at risk."

Except thatit's not his real name.
He's a coward who does not use his real name.
Mostof his other posrts reveal him to be a garden-variety
Jew-hater, of the usual non-Jewish type.

I don't understand how this doctor would do this to people. If it was
a celebrity he would have been locked up already.

Jews in NY are always pulling something. Medicaid scams, selling drugs, tax
evasion, it's in their nature. The dentists are the worst.
