Why would you divorce the wife of 30+ years as a first step? Do you not agree that she had a right to be suspicious? Hysterical? Angry?
I agree that the two of them should sue the hospital for damages. I cannot imagine the suffering that they went through. Thank God that they have it straightened out before she killed herself. Now, let’s just pray that they can get the rest of their lives back together.
I think that they are going to need months of therapy to heal.
If she made no effort to be retested, if this goes to court it should be thrown out.
Tests are not perfect for almost all medical conditions, and common sense tells you to retest.
These kind of lawsuits are drivers of high medical costs. Poor substitute for personal responsibility.
Maybe a little kum by ya will help. If she couldnt take his word or have the sense to get a 2nd opinion or wait for him to get tested then then old bag is not worth keeping.
Sounds like there were some problems in the marriage before this. She was awfully quick to be SURE her husband had been sleeping with other women (unprotected!) and given her HIV. A single phone call to any public health agency or public hospital would have told her that mistakes are possible, most often through different patients’ samples getting mixed up. She’d have been advised to get retested, she’d have tested negative, and everything would have been fine.
