Patient infected with HIV-tainted blood used in transfusion

Incompetent

 

If you were to catch AIDS/HIV following such a transfusion what's your options for compensation ? Has anyone had any experience of trying to seek compensation following an incident - just that I've never read of anything beign done.

 

Seek and ye shan't find. Just remember it took the Minamata plaintiffs more than 50 years to get the piddling satisfaction of a small payment.

The moral is, if you seek compensation, better to start when you're young.

 

the guy (girl) that donated the blood knew that was infected or not.
it was common some 'crazy' people wanted to infect others intentionally.

and in japan with lots of 'maniacs' that follow someone's crime, it would not be surprise if it happened.

the most scare thing is that the system fails and cannot avoid this!?.

 

for a fee, you regularily drop a half liter of your own blood in a private facility that stores it for your time of need.

 

How much of this blood is in the Japanese blood supply? Are there plans to retest more blood since the screening process did not work? Shouldn't Japanese people be somewhat concerned about this?

 

I'll take my chances with American beef.

 

how could such a thing happen?! that's very scary. makes me paranoid about donating blood or even having to get transfusion. it may be rare but not impossible such as this case.

 

educate Emika and her crew of porkers about this article. After all,....she doesn't worry about the HIV/AIDS virus!
