The self-represented plaintiff sued a women's shelter, the city's public health department, and an infectious disease specialist, alleging she contracted active tuberculosis from another shelter resident and was subsequently misdiagnosed and mistreated.
The defendants moved for summary judgment.
The court granted the motions and dismissed the action, finding the plaintiff failed to adduce any expert medical evidence to support her claims of medical malpractice or to prove she was exposed to an infectious person.
Costs were awarded to the defendants on a partial indemnity basis.
