Over the last two years, more than 30 people died awaiting liver transplants at UCI Medical Center in Orange as the hospital turned down scores of organs that might have saved them, according to a federal report.
More than 100 UCI patients still are waiting for transplants, and 28 have joined the roster this year alone despite a staffing shortage that dampens their prospects for a transplant.
