They would have to be able to show some damages, which would be quite hard.

Do the families of patients who died have any recourse? It’s an affront to justice that she seems to have gotten away with what’s effectively murder or manslaughter.

Who died?

They failed to demonstrate patient harm in court. The best they prosecution could find was one person who got a false positive for HIV and was retested and found negative.

Ah. I haven’t followed this case, and have seen claims of misdiagnosis and patient harm. I assumed this had led to tragic outcomes.

She was found not guilty on the patient related matters.
