17 Million should be the first payment. This woman was basically given a death sentence and will endure daily agony until her shorten life ends

The feud between ObGyn and urology continues 
ObGyn is the shortest surgical specialty and it shows.

$17 million is not enough
My first thought. Her life is going to suck until she dies.

And they made this poor woman sit through a 2-week trial

Like I said, it's definitely malpractice and inexcusable. However they did not "remove her bladder" as the news story states.
Also, she should definitely get more than $17 mil for that

Not quite, but she's moved from Maine and currently practicing in Fairbanks, Alaska.

Comrade, the Revolution must succeed and you can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs.
We had attained Diversity in that operating room staff and that is what is most important here.

Would love to know the background and training of the surgeon that fricked it up.

Looks like she got as far away from Maine as possible.

A truly unbelievable and awful story. Life will never ever be close to the same for her.
Doctor should get time in prison and never be allowed to practice any kind of medicine ever again.

17M seems like not nearly enough to me.
I am not a litigious person at all, BUT putting myself in her shoes this is beyond a life changing event. In my mind losing a limb would be less traumatic. Maybe even losing use of my legs. Any of it would be devastating, but this is horrible.

How does this happen?
Not excusing obvious medical malpractice but the answer to the question of how it can happen is that once you open up the patient what you see in there doesn’t always look like the anatomy that’s in the textbooks. Many people (especially unhealthy people who need major surgery) have inflammation, scar tissue, other things that aren’t supposed to be there all over the place and once the surgeon is in there it’s not always easy to know “ok there’s the bladder.” And you don’t know until youve already opened the patient up and at that point, it’s not always an easy decision for a surgeon to say “ok I already opened this person up but I gotta close them back up again because this anatomy is too complex for me.” OBVIOUSLY the single biggest part of being a surgeon is DONT frick UP, and this guy clearly fricked up. Not excusing it. But that’s how it happens.

I have a friend's father that had surgery at a hospital in Louisiana that I will not name. They were supposed to remove a cancerous kidney.
They cut the kidney, but did not remove it. They did however remove an adrenaline gland. They left the kidney free floating in his abdomen.
A few days later he had abdominal pain and went to ER and they found out his unattached kidney was still inside. He had to have an emergency second surgery.
The Louisiana doctor begged him not to sue. Said "I'm a good baw and have never made a mistake like this before. I'm so sorry. Please don't sue."
I'd sue the ever living piss out of all of them, but as of now he has not.

Now look up what this woman would have received in Louisiana.

Likely the three letters that have plagued America for the last 8 to10 years.
Bet there a pride flag somewhere in that surgeons social media presence.

After listening to some doctor death podcasts and seeing how state medical review boards operate, you'd probably be dumbstruck at the number of providers still with a license that have multiple complaints lodged against them for malpractice.
