Public not told of infection outbreak at private Toronto pain clinic

Two weeks after Anne Levac went to a Toronto pain clinic for an injection of steroids for chronic back pain.

Both women developed bacterial infections in their spines following their visits to the Dufferin St. clinic: Levac was diagnosed with an epidural abscess and Martin with bacterial meningitis, as well as an epidural abscess.

Today, they live with disabilities caused from permanent nerve damage. They cannot control their bladders and bowels and are unable to walk without canes. http://www.thestar.com/life/health_wellness/2014/09/20/public_not_told_of_infection_outbreak_at_private_toronto_pain_clinic.html
