An anesthesiologist was temporarily dismissed by the Sheba Hospital at Tel Hashomer, after an 80 year old patient received a blood transfusion with the wrong type of blood, and died two weeks later.
"During an operation to repair a broken leg a human mistake occurred, and the patient was administered blood that did not match her blood type," hospital officials reported. The Ministry of Health requested that an outside inquiry commission conduct an investigation.
