54-Year-Old Female with a Defective Heart Valve
Dr. El-Sheikh is a 54-year-old Egyptian female who complains of weakness, fatigue, shortness of breath, chest pain, and dizziness. Her heart rate is 96 beats/min, and her blood pressure is 148/54 mm Hg. You notice that she nods her head with every heartbeat, and her radial pulse is very strong and abrupt. Her heart sounds are abnormal, with a long diastolic murmur at the right sternal margin in the second intercostal space.
Her doctor orders an echocardiogram, which shows that Dr. El-Sheikh has severe aortic regurgitation (backflow of blood through an incompetent valve) and an enlarged left ventricle.

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?
