And of course it's totally unthinkable that these newly found growths could have been cells that metastisized from the original tumor.

From the article:
Last year, a doctor at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., told her that Hoegh had accidentally cut into her tumor and caused the spread of the cancer, which is terminal but treatable, according to the lawsuit. Schroeter's lawyer, Roxanne Conlin of Des Moines, says the Mayo doctor found out about the mistake by reading her client's medical records.
She's got a leg to stand on...

The doctor would be equally at fault:
“the Des Moines doctor removed her tumor in 2002, but he never mentioned it was cancerous...”

Abdomen. Not stomach.

Wonder what would happen if Lavonne Schroeter took this this suit before DC judge Roy Pearson (the a-h*le who sued the Korean cleaners (Chungs) for $84 million over a lost pair of pants). Tort reform NOW!

It could be, sure. I have a hard time believing she was never told or never asked if the removed tumor was cancerous.
What's the Mayo Clinic doctor's angle on this?

RE: Your Tagline
Talking to the politicians is misdirected. I'm hoping to make a difference. Spread the word.

I find it virtually impossible that this physician did not inform the woman this tumor was malignant. I am sure it was biopsied first. If it was benign, then there is a good chance it might not have been removed but tracked. If the results of the biopsy came back malignant then the whole thing is academic, it must be removed. My wife went through this very thing about two and a half years ago. Hers were benign but she opted for a hysterectomy (she had a few other issues as well) anyway.
This sounds to me like another person looking for a cash payout.

I have a hard time believing she was never told It does seem odd.
If I were a clumsy doctor, and spread cancerous cells around a patient's abdomen, I might (if I were unethical) not say, "Listen, I made a terrible mistake."
But I would at least have the sense to say, "I removed a tumor. Went smashingly well! Cleanest operation I ever did! I couldn't be prouder! But, I must tell you, that the tumor was cancerous, and you might want to come back periodically to be checked ... you know ... just in case it recurs. Because ... uhhh ... it just might."
Simple CYA procedure. I find it hard to believe that the doctor never said anything at all.

Guess we’ll find out when the info in the medical records is made public during the trial.
