Re: Sarcoidosis minor problem - healthcare workers

[Guest guest]

Curious to see so many healthcare professionals on this board, myself

included. I was the Director of Clinical Engineering for more than a

dozen years & my Team service all of the patient care equipment

(surgical, patient monitors, lab, etc) so there was always the

potential for exposure to biologicals. The first flare, or the first

noticable event, occurred 2 years after at the hospital. I still work

in the industry having moved into the private sector to develop

chemistry analyzers for healthcare.
