Becky, I think that we need more info on the subject of how Hepatitis B is
killed, etc. I wonder if one of the physicians here can help with resources.
What we need is an epidemiologist, I guess, or an infection control doc.

Liability is liability whether you work privately, or in a hospital. You may
have resources right in the hospital there re: Hep B. I would ask them, and
find out (share with us, then : ) ),...I am sure that the hospital would not
want THAT liability on their shoulders.  Not for the price of pump kits.
