In North Carolina almost 20 people were exposed to a fatal neurological disease during surgery. Due to the fact that the Doctor that was performing the surgery did not sterilize the equipment properly, all these people were exposed to Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease which is a incurable fatal brain disorder that kills about 90% of patients in one year. The CJD has been associated with the mad cow disease. Families of these patients are given support on behalf of the team in the hospital. This disease is often transmitted by exposure to the brain or nervous system tissue, its rare that this disease is transmitted through surgical instruments.
