Following a diagnosis of uterine fibroids, a 35-year-old woman presented to her Ob/Gyn for a laparoscopic myomectomy. During the procedure, the physician encountered uncontrollable bleeding. In an effort to stop the hemorrhaging, she decided to perform a hysterectomy.
In suing, the woman claimed that the physician was unqualified to perform the laparoscopic myomectomy and fraudulently represented her credentials. She added that the Ob/Gyn did not perform the procedure properly, which led her to switch to a hysterectomy.
The physician contended that she was indeed qualified to conduct a laparoscopic myomectomy and that she did perform it properly. In addition, the doctor claimed she informed the patient of the potential risks of the technique, including bleeding.
- The jury returned a verdict for the defense.
