Woman loses mad cow case
Katie Lapthorne
27aug04A WOMAN who said she was traumatised after a doctor told her she might have the human form of mad cow disease has lost a $2 million damages claim.
Professional squash player Carol Elizabeth Farrell, 50, claimed psychiatric injury and financial losses after a doctor told her in 1993 she might have contracted the fatal Creutzfeldt-Jakob brain-wasting disease from a hormone treatment.
She sued the Commonwealth Serum Laboratories, which supplied the hormone she took for 15 years, and the Commonwealth, claiming negligence over CJD’s spread.
But a Supreme Court judge dismissed the case, saying she had shown a preparedness to engage in deceit for financial gain.
“No credence whatsoever can be placed upon her evidence,” Justice Bernard Bongiorno said.

Amidst all the noise and squabbling, the sweetest sound of the Olympics so far were El Guerrouj’s tears of joy after tuesday’s 1500 final. Just about reduced me to tears.
