Thread: Lexington Doctor SUED.......I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!

It is a way to get money, by the way, how would the patient even know? they normally do not leave organs after removing them for paitents to see. I think that when they brand them, it is a way to let patholgists KNOW that this is diseased and should be disposed of immediately, i think that this is a petty case, hopefully the jugde sees it this way as well, as LONG as the organ was not placed back into the body ( which i dont believe it was ). some people will go to great lengths, to get money.

The "Branding" was VIDEOTAPED! And the video was given to the HUSBAND after the surgery. THATS how they know!

Stephanie means says during the hysterectomy procedure Dr. Guiler branded the letters U-K on her uterus before he took it out.

The UK was supposed to be for his alma mater, and he did it BEFORE it was removed. I saw this on the news. Does anybody remember the story a year or so ago about the woman whose OB-GYN CARVED his initials into his patient's abdomen during a surgery?

gave them the tape of the procedure. The procedure he did was a hysterectomy on each woman. His alma mater was the University of Kentucky.

It has been all over the news here and WHAS 11 even showed the tape of one of the women's procedures.

Organs are usually sent to pathology, then are disposed of. I have heard that sometimes removed organs are marked if there is an abnormailty so pathplogy would take note. What does it matter if the doctor put UK on the organ instead of an X? It is not in her body. Sounds like someone wanting some fast cash. Now do you see why our medical insurance rates go up? Hospitals have to pay to settle nuisance claims like this.

This is EXACTLY right..and is the reason...this way if something cancerous shows up they can look at those exact spots and so forth..seems to me that this is def a "means to an end" to get fast easy money ITs EXACTLY the kind of people that make the word "sue" a "bad word"

"jmho"

OK, I knwo Im in the minority here, but I can kinda see why they are sueing. I mean, he did the branding BEFORE he took it out. Fine, nobody wouldve known, right? Not a problem, EXCEPT he VIDEOTAPED IT and then, THEN!, gave the tape to the husband. WTF Was he thinking to tape it and then GIVE THE EVIDENCE TO THE HUSBAND??? To me its ASKING to be sued.

AND he did it to TWO women and BOTH HUSBANDS GOT TAPES!!!

DOes this NOT seem wrong to anyone else???

the only other thing i can think why he would give tapes to hubbies is more of a male type joke.. like she no longer has periods..so no more "headaches" type thing..maybe??

I don't know, but in my opinion, They toss it anyway after pathology is done with it so who caresif he marked the abnormal spot with his alma mater or a even a smiley face for that matter. When my mom had her hysterectomy, they asked wether or not she wanted a tape of the surgery(she said no), so maybe hubby asked for the tape??
