Description
Ruth Ward was admitted to Fairbanks Memorial Hospital for the birth of her fourth child. She was treated under the care of her personal obstetrician and his associates, none of whom was a hospital employee. At their direction, Ward received blood transfusions at the hospital. She was later diagnosed with hepatitis C. Ward sued Lutheran Hospitals & Homes Society of America, Inc., d/b/a Fairbanks Memorial Hospital, for negligence in testing the blood and for failure to obtain her informed consent for the blood transfusions. The superior court granted summary judgment to the hospital, and Ward appeals. We affirm.
