The first individual lawsuit filed by a hepatitis C infected patient at a Medical Center was filed in district court naming the hospital and anestesiologist. The patient underwent surgery and believes an operating rooom technician, an intravenous drug user with hep-c, left a dirty needle filled with saline in place of the narcotic intended for her.The patient alleges the hospital and anestesiologist failed to follow internal polices and controlled substance laws requiring that potent drugs be either locked up or closely monitored.
Her lawyer stated we have filed this suit on behalf of the patient because she is unable to undergo medical treatment for her chronic hepatitis C and has already developed liver damage. A class action suit against the hospital has also been filed and at least 18 other patients have been found to have the same genetic strand of hep-c as the operating room technician. The technician was sentenced to 30 years in prison.
