Why can’t you sue them for not telling you so that you could have said no? They told her background about a prior donor before and she said no. The next time they don’t tell her the donor is a high-risk behavior person, and she gets HIV and Hep-C? Seems like it’s a clear court victory here.

I don't know what state your are in, but I practice law in Texas -- 20 years as a medical malpractice DEFENSE lawyer, and the last few years as as plaintiff's medical malpractice attorney (one case).

Trust me, this poor woman can never find an attorney to represent her (unless he is just in it for the principle of the thing and is willing to pay $250,000 out of his pocket for the privilege of doing so).

For a variety of reasons that are too involved to go into here, this woman has NO CASE even accepting the validity of everything that you have said.

That is what "tort reform" means. Even if you have a good case, you will lose.

That explains why they didn't tell her the next time. She was obviously a paranoid homophobe, content to inconsiderately take up valuable space at the dialysis center.
