Not able to get ng-bind-html to work - html

Question

Problem: I am trying to use ng-bind-html but I am getting the following errors on the console:
The following is the controller where I am calling ngSanitize:
and using the following file:
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.6.4/angular-sanitize.js"></script>
In my form, I do the following to use ng-bind-html. So when I try to see my results, it is still rendering the &rather then &:
<div ng-bind-html="e.Specialty"></div>
and the following is what occurs in the Specialty:
Any help would be appreciated.

When you use ng-bind-html, AngularJS sometimes consider some contents as unsafe (as your case), so you need to use the $sce service in order to "mark" this content as safe (to be used) like this:
$sce.trustAsHtml("CLINICAL & SOCIAL"); (See demo below)
From $sanitize
The input is sanitized by parsing the HTML into tokens. All safe
tokens (from a whitelist) are then serialized back to properly escaped
html string. This means that no unsafe input can make it into the
returned string.
In this case the "unsafe" part is &
angular
.module('app', [])
.controller('ctrl', ctrl);
function ctrl($scope, $sce) {
$scope.Specialty = $sce.trustAsHtml("CLINICAL & SOCIAL");
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.6.4/angular.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.6.4/angular-sanitize.js"></script>
<div ng-app="app" ng-controller="ctrl">
Specialty: <span ng-bind-html="Specialty"></span>
</div>
