Cytotechnologist tells court she would rather not say how much she was paid to examine slide
A cytotechnologist who recently blind tested a smear slide of a Limerick woman which was sent to a US laboratory in 2012 has told the High Court she did not find anything that looked like an abnormality.
Ms Morrissey has sued over the alleged misreading of her smear slides in 2009 and 2012 taken under the CervicalCheck screening programme. Her case is against the HSE, Medlab and another US laboratory Quest Diagnostics. On Thursday, Ms Stowe told the court she received a box of 12 slides which she knew came from an Irish law firm but she did not know which side of the case they represented.
Ms Morrissey and her husband Paul Morrissey of Kylemore, Schoolhouse Road, Monaleen, Co Limerick have sued the HSE; Quet Diagnostics Ireland Ltd with offices at Sir John Rogerson’s Quay, Dublin; and Medlab Pathology Ltd, with offices at Sandyford Business Park, Dublin 18.
