It wasn't the doc's fault...And, I don't feel sorry for the staff member that fooled up... that's their job, NOT to get it wrong... I don't care if human beings make mistakes, if your job relies on human life, and it's as simple as recording the correct blood type, there is no acceptance of error... Sorry, I think they should lose their job, and all credibility with anything close to the job field... Having said that, I can feel sorry for the clerk... after all, I'm not heartless... I am a human being too... [ 02-24-2003 02:36 AM: Message edited 1 time, lastly by Loban ] -------------------- In the absence of light, darkness prevails

No, it's not a national tragedy. But it's definitely a terrible "example" if you will of how our medical system works. Sometimes it seems like the things that really count are glossed over......I mean, why didn't SOMEONE notice that somewhere in that girl's files her blood type had been recorded as two different things? The clerk had to get wrong from SOMEWHERE. And if it wasn't the poor clerk, then who the hell is testing our blood for the type? There's alot of carelessness going on around America's medical world, and it's frightening; we take it for granted that we have good medical service, but we don't realize that there are folks out there in the med field who aren't paying attention or giving a damn about what they do. It probably WASN'T intentional...God, I sure hope it wasn't...but if someone had been certain to dot their i's and cross all their t's... ...that little girl would still be here. But I think that's the heart of the matter, if you caught what I mean amidst all my rambling...

Well if you want to get extremely technical, she would have had a MUCH HIGHER CHANCE of survival with organs that matched her blood type.-------------------- Small minds think in small terms!
