This week we discuss the tragic case of Alex Koehne, the 15-year-old organ donor who was said to have died from bacterial meningitis on March 30, 2007. Yet, Stony Brook Hospital and Alex's parents are left shellshocked when an autopsy report yields a completely different diagnosis. Worst of all, healthcare professionals are left to clean up a deadly organ transplant overlooked by multiple hospital systems.
