QUEBEC (CP) - A hospital near Quebec City is asking 336 patients to redo tests taken in the last six months in a case of possible tampering that police are investigating.
The Ste-Anne-de-Beaupre Hospital said Wednesday it made the decision after learning that some test results were possibly altered by a hospital lab employee.
The hospital also says it's conducting an internal investigation after learning that a lab technician didn't follow procedures and may have altered test results, which led to the employee's dismissal.
Other test results done by the former employee are also under review.
Provincial police are investigating.
