Doctor infected by AIDS may only have year to live
In a hush courtroom, Dr. Veronica Prego, a nurse from Argentina later a physician, heard she may have at most a year to live after contracting AIDS from a needle prick at Kings County Hospital. Her physician, Dr. Gerald Friedland, cautioned prognosis is uncertain yet life expectancy could be as short as a year. The suit seeks damages for future suffering and lost earnings amid a nursing staff and hospital accountability case.
