I can't help but think that they could spread disease from one patient to the next. Even if it is a minimal chance, the statistics would add up.

and this doesn't even take into account something like prion diseases, which can be spread by equipment which might be impossible to sterilize.



I only got it through the story my friend told me, so I really don't know any details.
