There are no quality control requirements to protect patients from receiving tainted steroid injection. Meningitis is a horrible condition and there is no excuse for a patient having to face that risk unnecessarily.
A patient who received steroid injections after May 21, 2012, should contact legal counsel to protect his or her legal rights.
