David Kwiatkowski, a former traveling medical technician and former worker at the New Hampshire hospital, is currently serving a 39 year sentence in prison for stealing painkillers and replacing them with saline-filled syringes tainted with his hepatitis C positive blood, infecting more than 40 patients with hepatitis C across four states. New Hampshire legislators responded to the 2013 case by creating a licensing board to register, investigate and discipline medical technicians. In 2022, the N.H. House has passed legislation eliminating the board and the registration requirements. Photo: Associated Press/AP Photo/Jim Cole, File
