I am curious to see exactly whos at fault. their lawyer plays it up like they took a kidney riddled with tumors and just threw it in his body.
Seems like the other hospital got off the hook when they didnt have to release the ladys medical records. I am not sure its soley the surgeons fault on this, but I dont know what screening was done and how much they did ot ensure it was a healthy organ. ur hospital does kidney transplants too so I am def going to ask around some when I see the transplant guys. |

I dont know why they would tell him that he couldn't die of uterine cancer if they place cancerous uterine cells in his body. Those cells metastasize and can affect other organs which is why they were on a kidney to begin with. I'm not a doctor and I know that.

I am wondering who knew what/how much at the time of the surgery. Did the surgeons have all the info on the donor patient, was some of it witheld or they just figured screw it lets oprerate anyway he doesnt have a uterus.

NYU attempted to sue St. Luke's Cornwall Hospital for not properly screening the kidney which makes me wonder if anyone at NYU was told about the donor kidney being cancerous. Statements in the article make it sound like St. Luke's records pertaining to the kidney aren't going to be released without their voluntary release from the estate of the donor or someone suing the estate of the donor for their release.

Crazy....
With no cause of death of the donor woman, perhaps she didn't die of cancer but had a uterine cancer at her death. Cancer might not have been her primary cause of death. But surgeons should recognize a diseased kidney unless there wasn't detectable, physical evidence of cancer. But you gotta think they do blood tests for tumor markers or something before they harvest and donate a kidney. We pull off a tonne of blood when someone is going to be a donor. I can't remember what tests they do as the donor coordinator comes to over see everything to make sure nothing's screwed up with the prep. Shame.... Kidney's usually do well it seems post transplant. |
