While the book attempts to link negligent practices regarding her transfusions, Slaughter reveals how medical, bureaucratic and informational delays voided recourse for victims in similar situations as the statute of limitations ran out. The author expresses his opinion regarding the motives for his mother's death and the blood recall announcement delay that affected thousands of tainted blood transfusion victims. According to Slaughter, they all had the same operandi.

 

Elvis Slaughter has assumed the role of public activist to expose this wrong-doing and hopes to one day be able to help victims and their heirs receive financial compensation and have closure.
