The department says a surgical technician who worked at Northern Westchester Hospital in Mount Kisco about two years ago may be linked to the infection of 10 patients at a Colorado hospital she later worked at. It's alleged that the technician injected herself with patients' pain medication and then filled and replaced the syringes.

No patient at Northern Westchester has been linked yet, but the health department is recommending that anyone who had surgery at the hospital between Oct. 8, 2007 and Feb. 28, 2008 to be tested for the disease. Call 914-666-1902 for more information.
