I don’t watch enough commercial supported television to catch most ad campaigns in the wild. And I rarely comment on ones that are bordering on (or living in) offensive territory because a) I’m bordering on outrage fatigue enough as it is and b) the majority of the offensive ad campaigns (save ones for companies like Axe) tend to have a short life cycle.

One patient has tested positive for H.I.V. that was transmitted due to improperly sterilized colonoscopy equipment that has been used in V.A. clinics in Tennessee, Florida and Georgia. 16 others have tested positive for hepatitis.
