What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Louisiana
I visited my doctor's office this week to have my monthly coumadin check. The lady, who was a new emplyee, did not wear protective gloves during the needle stick. For whatever reason she could not get a reading from the machine so she changed the strips and pricked my finger 3 additional times. Finally got a reading so I went home. That afternoon my doctor phones and tells me the lady had prick her finger during the testing process and asked that I come in the next day so they could draw blood to check me for HIV, Hepatitis, etc...., which I did. My problem is that the lady's bloodwork results will not be available to me while mine will be to her. My question is do I have any legal recourse?
