Swedish Medical tech was fired by 4 hospitals, suffers from bloodborne pathogen
The surgical technologist accused of stealing a powerful narcotic drug at Swedish Medical Center had been fired by four hospitals in other states, including one that dismissed him for swapping syringes.
He also carries a bloodborne pathogen, authorities said. Bloodborne pathogens are infectious microorganisms that include, but are not limited to, hepatitis B, hepatitis C and human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV.
Despite a drug addiction, Rocky Allen was able to move from state to state and hospital to hospital, gaining access to operating rooms and fentanyl syringes, a criminal investigator testified Friday in federal court.
Christy Berg, a special agent for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, testified that Allen accomplished this by concealing his employment history from one hospital to another. He quickly lost every job for drug-related reasons.
