Dutch News reports that six patients developed eye infections last year, after surgeries at a Utrecht teaching hospital. Four of them have each lost the sight in one eye, are suing, and have been offered a settlement, without accepting responsibility. A statement from the hospital said:

'A number of factors could have increased the risk of infection for these patients.'

[...] Jasper Keizer, who represents one of the patients, said the hospital is being much too vague. 'They should be giving more clarity about the factors which may have led to the infection,' he said. 'And if they don't, we will ask the courts to force the hospital to prove it is not responsible.'
