Tucson, AZ asked in Health Care Law and Personal Injury for Arizona

Q: Does Banner Hospital have any liability for not advising us they were treating the other patient for covid?

Ruth awoke this morning with a pain in her left side, so I took her to the ER at Banner. We were placed in a small room containing two beds separated by a sheet across the room. I am 78 with chronic kidney disease and three bad valves in my heart. Ruth has COPD and is on oxygen 24 hours a day, she also suffers from battered woman syndrome. She has had 3 stents all placed by Banner. Our commodities are numerous, so we take great care not to be exposed to contagious diseases.
