Pap Smear Outrage? This happened in NY

It's quite shocking how Jacobi Medical Center has failed to inform over 300 women about their abnormal test results. Flunking a cancer screening test is no joke. How can people be sloppy like that when the results can be a matter of life and death?

This is like saying "I put my heart in your hand" and you simply drop it as if it doesn't matter. I also think the medical center is pathetically negligent in the sense to assign ONE worker to sift through all the test results.

There were just under 20,000 pap tests done and over 5,000 resulted in abnormality. Isn't this in itself alarming that the test should be taken a lot more seriously?

I wonder how credible other medical centers/hospitals are!
