A Toledo woman and her family are suing the hospital that threw out a kidney her brother had donated to her.

Sarah Fudacz, then 24, was awaiting the kidney from younger brother Paul Fudacz Jr., but a nurse at University of Toledo Medical Center mistakenly tossed the organ, which was sitting in a temperature-controlled slush machine, before it could be transplanted in the Aug. 10, 2012, operation.
