Blood Donor Sues Hospital After Developing Infection

A Palo Alto man’s efforts to do a good deed certainly didn’t pay off the way he planned.

For the last ten years Christopher Bui, 43, has been donating his type-O blood to Stanford Hospital for free, never asking for anything in return except for help if something should happen as a result of his donations.

Well, something did happen and now the hospital is refusing to help.

In 2008 Bui contracted a debilitating infection. When the cost of treating the infection became too much for Bui to afford, the hospital denied him treatment.

Bui has now filed a lawsuit against Stanford Hospital and clinics, Stanford Blood Center, Stanford University, and the Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital, school of medicine and medical center. In his lawsuit, Bui claims the hospital failed to live up to their promise to take care of him. He also claims the hospital was “unjustly enriched by taking his blood under false pretenses and selling it.”

Bui is seeking an unspecified amount in damages. He is waiting to see how much the hospital earned from selling his blood.
