Robert Chenier is among the 1,200 people currently involved in a $10-million class-action lawsuit against Farazli, over an infection scare in which thousands of patients were told they might have been exposed to hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV during treatment.
“I know that thing, they didn’t clean it before they put it in me,” Chenier recounted Thursday.
The former patient cringes when he recalls the details. He claims that not only was his endoscopy session with Farazli unsanitary — it also hurt.
“I was yelling and yelling,” he said, adding that staff ordered him to let them carry on with their work.
“My brother was in the waiting room. He heard me yell in pain.”
Chenier, who already suffers from a number of health problems, including chronic pain and anxiety, now has to deal with the results of his blood test.
