Summary Introduction
To review:
1. The disturbances caused by the damaged pigment epithelium.
2. The relationship between damaged pigment epithelium and macular degeneration.
Introduction:
There exists a layer of epithelial cells and is highly pigmented, it is termed as pigment epithelium. This layer is present between the photoreceptors in the retina and the choroid. It serves as a barrier in order to avoid the diffusion of substances from the choroid to the retina.

A negligence action was brought by a mother against a hospital on behalf of her minor daughter. It alleged that when the mother was 13 years of age, the hospital negligently transfused her with Rh-positive blood. The mother's Rh-negative blood was incompatible with and sensitized by the Rh-positive blood. The mother discovered her condition 8 years later during a routine blood screening ordered by her healthcare provider in the course of prenatal care. The resulting sensitization of the mother's blood allegedly caused damage to the fetus, resulting in physical defects and premature birth.
Did a patient relationship with the transfusing hospital exist?
