Six ill after
radioactive coffee SIX workers at a Mexico City hospital fell
ill after drinking coffee laced with radioactive iodine at the facility's
cafeteria. Hospital officials said the spiking of the coffee pot with the
isotope could have been a case of a personal vendetta by a hospital staffer.
The wing, which receives 200 patients weekly will be closed
until the end of an investigation by the attorney general's office.
The attorney general said up to 18 staff had access to the
radioactive iodine.
