Woman Sues Dallas Hospital Over ID Mixup

Posted on September 25, 2010 by Dissent

A North Texas woman is suing Medical City Dallas for ruining her reputation, credit history and medical record following an alleged records mix-up.

The woman asked CBS 11 News to withhold using her name. We will call her “B”.

“B” said the trouble began in July 2009. Dallas police escorted a woman, with the same first and last name, to Medical City Dallas for psychiatric evaluation. When the hospital tried to admit her, though, she had no identification.
