Occupational Safety and Health Administration is investigating the Memphis VA Medical Center after the discovery of human body tissue in a drain, according to an article on the Becker's Hospital Review website.
An engineer pipe-fitter was exposed to body tissue in March while unclogging a drain at the facility.
The sink, in a housekeeping closet of the third-floor surgical unit, was full of brown water. As the pipe-fitter cleared the drain, body tissue floated to the top.
He collected the tissue in a bucket and placed it outside of a building on the hospital's campus without a biohazard label.
