While undergoing a simple gynecological procedure, a New York woman’s colon was punctured. As a result, the woman suffered from blood poisoning and gangrene, went into cardiac arrest three times in intensive care, lost some of her hearing due to the antibiotics and then had her feet amputated at the ankle. As if this weren’t enough for one woman to bear, her legs were then amputated below the knee, all as a result of a surgical error.
