Bed Bugs Even Scare Doctors

August 14, 2015/in Phoenix Bed Bug Treatment - Bed Bug Extermination Guaranteed/by Silver

There is no doubt about how easily bed bugs can move from place to place, infesting hotels, offices, homes, schools and hospitals all because of one person unknowingly carrying them from place to place. Now doctors are starting to question the protocol for what happens if a person comes in to receive medical treatment and they have bed bug bites. Here is one story of just that happening in a hospital.

Aurora resident Christine Lewis went to the doctor recently for a routine pain injection. When she showed the nurse her bed bug bites, however, the routine changed. Lewis says she was denied her injection and, citing the risk of contaminating their operating room with bed bugs, her doctor asked her to leave the hospital.

“He totally disregarded me. I told the hospital, now I know how AIDS patients felt 20 years ago. Everything he said implied I was a dirty person, not up to standard and that’s not right” Lewis told ABCNews.com

While the doctor’s response at the Medical Center of Aurora was against Health One’s policies, an established protocol for similar situations could not be verified.

Peggy SaBelle, RN, the Regional Infection Prevention and Control Director for Kaiser Permanente in Colorado, told Denver’s 7News that counteractive procedures should begin immediately after any bed bug signs. In addition to hospital countermeasures, patients are advised to eradicate bugs from their home.
