Abstract
The disaster involving blood-borne pathogens and Canada's blood system was in the spotlight in November with the release of the Krever inquiry report. Many physicians consider the report anticlimactic because action has already been taken on several fronts and the use of donated bloods has declined, but it will still have a far-reaching impact.
