Civil Case
Amirilla Millera, (Plaintiff) was 28 years old when she agreed to have her right ovary removed. Her doctor said it would help relieve the pain that accompanied her menstrual cycles. The surgery seemed to go well. But a month or so later, the pain in her lower right abdomen returned. This time, another surgeon suggested she have an appendectomy. Again, she agreed. Before the second surgery, an ultrasound revealed that Miller still had her right ovary. The first surgeon had removed her left ovary. The appendectomy didn’t stop the pain, either. A year later, Miller had to have her right ovary removed.
The Plaintiff (Amirilla Millera) sued the Defendants (Surgeon#1 and Surgeon#2) and the hospital under the Res ipsa loquitur and Respondeat superior statue. The plaintiff also stated that there was negligence involved.
The Platintiff sued Surgeon#1 for $10,000,000, Surgeon#2 for $3,000,000, and the hospital for $15,000,000
