Ohio hospital gives wrong patient a kidney, employees placed on leave
Fox News
An Ohio hospital placed two employees on administrative leave this week after admitting the wrong patient received a kidney transplant.
The kidney given to the wrong patient is compatible and the recipient is expected to recover, the hospital said. The surgery for the intended recipient has been delayed. Officials did not say if another kidney was available. No additional details were released about the patients. While it fluctuates, the average time spent on the kidney waitlist can be five to 10 years, according to UCLA Health, and there are more than 100,000 patients on the list in the U.S.More Related News
