Quotes:
“It's the immediacy of the threat”
“The only way you are aware of it, is when something goes wrong”
“That was influenced by the media, the media was connecting with the patients”
“Step one is isolating your unit form the municipal water line”
“In many cases the manufactures are including it in their instructions of use… its something that all manufactures should be doing”
“If you are not telling your purchasers how to do these things, you are not meeting their needs as a provider of product, and as a consumer they have every reason to look elsewhere” “For offices that are not quite ready to send it to a lab... there are tests that can be done in the office”
“When your staff sees how heavily contaminated that water is...they are not doing to be around it either”
“If you wouldn't take that water from the handpiece in a glass and drink it, you shouldnt be treating patients with it”
