New York – A city hospital nearly destroyed a New Jersey woman’s life and wrecked her marriage after misdiagnosing her with terminal HIV, hepatitis and herpes, according to a bombshell lawsuit. Maria Osorio, 54, of Passaic, said she saw an ad on TV offering a $15 mammogram at Harlem Hospital and decided to take advantage of the screening. When a nurse offered her a free instant cheek swab and blood test, too, she accepted.
That’s when she was told she had HIV. The shocked Osorio immediately turned on her husband of 37 years, Gabriel Lezcano, 60, who works as a janitor in New Jersey. He kept denying that he was with anyone. But almost three weeks later, the hospital called to say she was perfectly healthy. (Read more.)
B.S. Report–No one knows how any individual will handle an awful situation like this…That being said, the husband here is a victim as well. His wife accused him of infidelity when it wasn’t true and proceeded to destroy their long marriage. Whether or not it was a good marriage is debatable but it definitely was damaged–possibly beyond repair.
This could end up being a very large settlement for these two. You can already see them angling that way in their statements. I’m not sure I buy all of it, but than again, they weren’t responsible for the misdiagnosis.
